Are alkali metals considered to be very reactive or very unreactive?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
What is the group of very reactive metals called?
Assuming "very reactive" to mean spontaneous and energetic in reaction, lower Alkaline metals are among the most reactive.
How does the arrangement of alkali earth metals make them very reactive?
Alkalis have one electron in their valency shells. They can "lose" this electron easily, forming a cation which is strongly reactive.
Are alkali and alkaline earth metals are not reactive?
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Why are the metals in the first group of the period table so reactive?
These metals lose easily an electron.
What groups are the very reactive elements from?
there are alkali metals that are the most reactive metals on the periodic table and halogens which are the most reactive nonmetals
Why alkali and alkaline metal are very reactive among periodic table?
Alkali metals and alkaline earth metals have 1 and 2 valence electrons respectively. If they lose these electrons, they will get the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas (stable octet configuration) and hence they are very reactive.
How are alkali metals different any from other metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
What are very reactive non metals?
Hydrogen
What are the three properties of alkali metals?
1 electron in their outer shell, very reactive and are shiny but they lose their shiny surface when exposed to air.
What are the three characteristics of all alkali metals?
one is its the first colom in the Periodic Table:}
What is reactivity of properties of metals?
Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.
