What else can I help you with?
Does K form two or more ions with different ionic charges?
No, only the K+ ion is possible; this is valid for all other alkali metals (group I)
How do you know if an ionic compound between an alkali metal with a nonmetal is done correctly?
Since all alkali metals form a 1+ ion, the number of alkali metal atoms in the formula should be equal to the charge on the negative ion.
Alkali and alkaline earth metals both form ions what is the name for the type of ion they will form?
anion because they have -ve charge
What charge does an ion of an alkali metal have?
Your Alkali Metals are those elements on the leftmost column of the periodic table (except for Hydrogen). Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium, Cesium, Francium. You can remember them as those that form the Alkali bases, Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) among others. In Pure Metallic form, they would have a neutral charge. However, they are frequently found in ionic form where they loose an electron to form a positive ion with a +1 charge. Li+ Na+ K+ etc.
Alkali metals are extremely reactive because?
because they have one valence electron that is easily removed to form a positive ion.
Differences between alkil metals and halogens?
The elements of the 1st GROUP of the periodic table are called alkali metals. The elements of the 17th GROUP of the periodic table are called halogens. Alkali metals are soft metals whereas halogens are non-metals.
What must happen for an ion to happen?
Reacting Nitrogen Gas with Alkali or Alkaline earth Metals form trivalent N3- ions.
Which two alkali metals would be most reactive chemically?
Francium and cesium, the two with the highest atomic numbers.
What element reacts by losing 1 electron?
These elements are the alkali metals.
What must happen for nitrogen to become an ion?
Reacting Nitrogen Gas with Alkali or Alkaline earth Metals form trivalent N3- ions.
What ions form an ion with a charge of 1 plus?
Many different chemical species can form an ion with a plus 1 change. The most common example of cations of this type are the alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium.
What ion will form from bromine atom?
Any metals in the reference table can form an ionic bond with a Br atom.For example, Lithium, Sodium and Calcium.
