- Group 1 metals are alkali metals.
- Common characteristics are that they are all silvery in color,
- they're all soft,
- and each will have a shiny surface when cut.
- Oxidation will occur with each of them and they'll become dull.
- Alkali metals include lithium,
- sodium,
- rubidium,
- potassium,
- francium,
- and francium.

∙ 12y agoGroup one is alkali metals i believe. They are the most reactive elements and are never found in nature as a pure sample. Alkali metals are shiny, malleable and ductile. Being malleable, that means they are soft and can be hammered out into thin sheets. Ductile is being able to be drawn out into wires. They have a gray color to them.

∙ 14y agoGroup 1 is known as "Alkali metals". They're dying to gain a single electron to fill the 1s shell. So typically, group 1 elements will bond once only. NaCl, NaOH, LiCl, BuLi.
They're also very electropositive and are easily ionised. So these compounds are often ionicly bonded.

∙ 9y agoThe group 1 metals can lose 1 electron to form mono cation. They are basic in nature. The size of the atom increases down the group.They are malleable and ductile.

What Element in group 1 on the periodic table is not a metal?
Hydrogen is the only element in Group 1 that is not a metal. The other heavier metals in group one, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium are all called alkali metals, which are highly reactive since they do not have a full valence shell.
Why is the hydrogen in group while it is not a metal?
It is in Group 1.
What is the least reactive metal in the alkali metal group?
Lithium - As it is first in Group 1. Group 1 elemts become more reactive as you go down the group.
What is another name for alkali metals?
Group 1 Metals
What group 1 element is not an alkali metal?
The alkali metals are the metals in Group 1 (the first column of the periodic table). Hydrogen is also in Group 1, and so is technically considered to be part of the alkali metal group/family. Hydrogen is in fact a non-metal, however, and does not generally exhibit behavior similar to the other Group 1 elements.
Is hydrogen consisdered to be a metal?
No, hydrogen is considered to be strictly a non-metal. Although it can be considered as a group 1 element due to some of its characteristics.
Would a metal in group 13 more or less reactive than a metal in group 1?
Sodium and calcium are in different families of metals. Name the families of metals in which they belong and describe each family's characteristics.
Would metal in group 13 be more or less reactive than a metal in group 1?
Sodium and calcium are in different families of metals. Name the families of metals in which they belong and describe each family's characteristics.
Would metal in group 13 be more or less reactive than metal in group 1?
Sodium and calcium are in different families of metals. Name the families of metals in which they belong and describe each family's characteristics.
What element of group 1 is not known as an alkali metal?
Hydrogen is in group 1 but is not an alkali metal.
Is aluminum a metal or non metal?
Aluminum is normally classified as a metal, but it has some characteristics that cause it to be occasionally classified as a metalloid.
What Element in group 1 on the periodic table is not a metal?
Hydrogen is the only element in Group 1 that is not a metal. The other heavier metals in group one, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium are all called alkali metals, which are highly reactive since they do not have a full valence shell.
Why is the hydrogen in group while it is not a metal?
It is in Group 1.
Is sodium an metal?
Yes, a group 1 alkali metal.
What is the least reactive metal in the alkali metal group?
Lithium - As it is first in Group 1. Group 1 elemts become more reactive as you go down the group.
Would a metal in Group 13 be more or less reactive that a metal in Group 1?
less reactive.beacuse group-1 elements are the most reactive elements.
Which metal and non metal in the same group?
The metal and non-metal in the same group are Hydrogen and Sodiim
