Are alkali metals considered to be very reactive or very unreactive?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
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.
Name a very reactive group of metals and a very reactive group of nonmetals. why do they behave this way?
A very reactive group of metals is the alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, while a very reactive group of nonmetals is the halogens, like chlorine and fluorine. Alkali metals have a single electron in their outermost shell, making them eager to lose that electron and achieve a stable electronic configuration. Halogens, on the other hand, have seven electrons in their outer shell and readily gain an electron to complete their octet, leading to high reactivity. This tendency to either lose or gain electrons drives their chemical reactivity.
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 many reactive metals are there?
There are five reactive metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium. These metals are located in Group 1 of the periodic table and are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose an electron easily.
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.
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.
What is the different between reactive and non reactive metals?
one reacts and one doesn't
What are the three characteristics of all alkali metals?
one is its the first colom in the Periodic Table:}
How are alkali metals different any from other metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
What are very reactive non metals?
Hydrogen
