Yes they are, but however, they do not react at the same intensity and enthusiasm. Metalloids and be both nonmetals or metals.

∙ 14y agoIf you mean a group of metals that are mixed when molten, example as in steelmaking then it is called an ALLOY

∙ 12y agoAlkali metals are highly reactive. This is because they have only one electron in the valence shell, and the atom really wants to get rid of it, making it very unstable.

∙ 12y agoyes group 1 is the most reactive

What element family does cesium belong to?
Caesium belong to Group (1) The Alkali metals. Since it is the lowest in the Group , except for 'Francium', its reactivity with water and oxygen is 'explosive'. Going down the Group (1) the elements are , with increasing reactivity , Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium. You will not find francium in the open lab. as it is radio-active.
How do transition metals properties compare with those of elements farther to the left?
The chemical reactivity of transition metals is generally less than that of metals to its left (group 1 and group 2 metals). However, transition metals can exhibit various oxidation states and hence form more number of compounds than group 1 and group 2 elements.
Why do chemists use compounds instead of group 1 and 7 elements?
It is because the group 1 and 7 elements have a high reactivity. The reactivity is far too high to use on there own because the elements in these groups react with air and/or water.
What happens to the reactivity as you move down group 1 in the periodic table?
Reactivity in group 1 of elements increases as we go down the group (to francium) because in the alkali metals as we go down the group number of atomic shells increases so the elements with most shells will easily release their electrons in the outer most shell.
What metal reacts with hot water?
The metals that react violently with cold water are group 1 and group 2 metals. Reactivity increases going down the group and to the left of a period.
How does the reactivity of group 1 metals change as you go down group 1?
The reactivity increase down in the group.
Are transition metals on the periodic table reactive?
yes, they are less reactive than group 1 and 2. These metals hardly react with air or water at all whereas Group 1 and 2 metals tarnish quickly and react with water
How do the reactivity of the alkali metals change in group 1?
because of the power of each metal it goes up in reaction.

What is the rule for the activity trends of metals and nonmetals?
Metals: the farther to the left the more reactive they are. Group 1 metals, which include sodium and potassium, are so highly reactive that they do not exist in nature by themselves (only in compound form.) Non-metals: the farther to the right the more reactive they are *with the exception of group 18* which are the noble gases and do not react at all. The most reactive are group 17, which include fluorine and chlorine. These non-metals, like group 1, rarely exist by themselves because of their high reactivity.
What metal reacts with hot water?
The metals that react violently with cold water are group 1 and group 2 metals. Reactivity increases going down the group and to the left of a period.
Why is sodium called reactive metal?
Please check the associated link on the first group metals. It shows the reactivity of pure sodium and other group 1 elements
Do group one metals have a high melting point?
No. Group 1 metals (commonly called the alkali metals) have low melting points.
Where is lithium located on the periodic table?
it is. it needs to lose 1 electron to be stable
