The number usually shown on the Periodic Table is the atomic number of the element, the number of protons, and therefore the number of electrons in the neutral atom.
Group 1 in the periodic table is called the alkali metals, and Group 2 is called the alkaline earth metals. These groups of elements share similar chemical properties due to the number of electrons in their outermost energy level.
This is the group 1.
Alkali Earth metals have a single valence electron, and are found in the first group.
The chemical reactivity of alkali metals increase when the atomic number increase.
The group number of alkali earth metals is group 2 on the periodic table. These metals include beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. They are located in the second column from the left on the periodic table.
This is the alkali metals family.
Group 1 or alkali metals (+1 oxidation number). Group 2 or alkaline earth metals (+2 oxidation number).
the group number
The alkali metals are group 1, also known as group 1A.
Francium is in the group 1 (alkali metals) of the periodic table.
No. In fact lithium, one of the alkali metals, is the lightest metal. In terms of molecular mass the heaviest metals are the actinides. In terms of density the densest metals are osmium and iridium.
Hydrogen is in Group 1 and is part of the Alkali Metals group.
