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.
How do the chemical properties of the alkali metals and halogens that react to form them?
Alkali metals, like sodium and potassium, have one valence electron and readily lose it to form a +1 cation. Halogens, like chlorine and fluorine, have seven valence electrons and readily gain one electron to form a -1 anion. When alkali metals react with halogens, the alkali metal donates its electron to the halogen, forming an ionic compound.
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 elements react with metals?
Elements from the boron, carbon, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen families (groups 13 to 17) react with metals.
What group will react with alkali metals to form ionic bonds?
Halogens, such as chlorine or iodine, will react with alkali metals to form ionic bonds by transferring electrons from the alkali metal to the halogen. This results in the formation of ionic compounds like sodium chloride or potassium iodide.
Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?
Yes
What is A compound of an alkali metal and a halogen?
A salt could be formed by an alkali metal and a(n)
