(A similar relationship exists in Group 1, which includes hydrogen and the alkali metals. All have the same valence configuration, but hydrogen is never included as a member of the alkali metals family.)

Is helium in the alkali metals or alkali earth metals?
neither. it is a noble gas
Are most active metals found in the noble gas family?
No; the noble gas family doesn't contain any metals in it, it only has gases. Also it contains all of the least reactive elements. The most reactive metals are in the alkali metal family, group 1, lithoium , sodium, poatssium etc..
What state are most alkali metals?
gas and solid
What is the Compare and contrast the properties of the halogens with alkali metal?
elements in the halogen family react easily with other elements whose atoms can give up electrons.alkali metals lose one electron they are left with 0 valence electrons and they become more chemically stable
When the alkali metals react with they make a gas called?
It depends on what they are reacting with.

Is sodium a halogen a noble gas a alkali metal or a alkaline earth metal element?
It is located, in the periodic table, with the metalloids. However, it is a transition metal.
What state are most alkali metals?
gas and solid
How many electrons away from a noble gas are the alkali metals?
Alkali metals have one electron more than the noble gases.

When the alkali metals react with they make a gas called?
It depends on what they are reacting with.
When alkali earth metals react with water what do they produce?
hydrogen gas
Why are alkali and alkali earth metals not used for making conducting wires and equipment?
They burn in atmospheric air, such metals are stored in oil under dry nitrogen gas.
Why do alkali metals have lower ionization energies than the alkali earth metals?
Alkali gases only have 1 electron needing to be removed to reach a stable noble gas configuration. Alkaline earths have two electrons. Alkali metals thus have the lower ionization energy of the two groups.
What elements are the group A elements?
They are the Alkali Metals (this excludeds hydrogen because it is a gas).
What alkali metal is liquid at 30 degrees Celsius?
They are soft, and generally can be cut with a knife, like cold butter.
