What elements react the best with the alkali metals?
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
What happens when the alkali metals react with chlorine?
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Do alkali metals react slower or faster than alkaline earth metals?
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?
Yes
Which group do alkali metals bond with?
Alkali metals are electropositive so they want to react with halogens which are more electronegative.
What is formed when halogen and alkali metals react?
something sciency
What elements react the best with the alkali metals?
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
Does a halogen element easily react with alkali metals elements?
Yes. the reaction is exothermic and quite violent.
How do alkali metals react with other alkali metals?
They don't
How do alkali metals react to cold water?
alkali metals react violently in cold water
Do Alkali earth metals react with oxygen?
Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
What happens when the alkali metals react with chlorine?
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Which metal react with dilute hcl?
Many metals including alkali metals, alkali earth metals, chromium, nickel and zinc react with dilute hydrochloric acid.
What does fluorine combine with?
Fluorine is a halogen, so it reacts with Hydrogen, all of the Alkali Metals and all of the Alkali Earth Metals. There undoubtedly other reactions which I'm not aware of, so please feel free to add to this list if you know of any. There are few substances that Fluorine will not react with. It can react with any substance with which oxygen can react and even a few more such as glass.
What elements react with metals?
Elements from the boron, carbon, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen families (groups 13 to 17) react with metals.
Why are group 1 metals knowns as alkali metals?
Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
What metals react violently with acid?
All alkali metals (group 1) and most earth-alkali metals (group 2)
