What name is given to group one elements in the periodic table?

Answer 1

The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements.

Some other cool facts are:

--Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity

--The alkali metals are softer than most other metals.

--Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.

Answer 2

Group one of the table are the Alkali Metals

Answer 3

The elements (except for hydrogen) in periodic column 1 are often called "alkali metals."

Answer 4

The Group 1 (IA) elements are the alkali metals.

Answer 5

Group 1 elements in the periodic table are known as the alkali metals. They include elements such as lithium, sodium, and potassium.

Answer 6

alkali metals

Answer 7
