Do the alkali metals have the ability to tarnish?
By forming their oxides, the alkali metals tarnish very quickly with respect to many other metals.
What are the classes of elements on the periodic table?
non-metals .... alkali metals....transition metals....alkali earth metals....rare earth metals....other metals....halogens....inert elements
What are some characteristics of alkali metals?
Alkali Metals: the alkali metals are found in the first group of the periodic table, Alkali metals are very reactive metals and they are not freely in their nature, alkali metals have one electron in their outermost shell. therefore alkali metals are ready to loose that one electron for bonding with other elements, alkali metals are good conductor of electricity and heat. they are soft in nature than other metals.The Alkali Metals are:lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium cesium, francium
Are alkali metals malleable?
No, they are soft but not very malleable compared with other metals.
Metals that are so reactive that in nature they are found only combined with other elements?
Alkali Metals
Among the alkali metals how does the tendency to react with other substances change within a group?
The chemical reactivity increase down in the group.
How do alkali metals react with other alkali metals?
They don't
How are alkali metals different any from other metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
Are alkali metals next to the alkali earth metals?
yes, the metals are next to each other
Do the alkali metals have the ability to tarnish?
By forming their oxides, the alkali metals tarnish very quickly with respect to many other metals.

What name is given to group one elements in the periodic table?
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.
What metals softer and more reactive than other metals?
Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals
Are alkali metals malleable?
No, they are soft but not very malleable compared with other metals.
Other name for group of bases?
Alkali metals and alkaline earth metals
What are theSections of the periodic table?
There are eight classifications of elements in the periodic table. They are: Non-metals, transition metals, rare earth metals, halogens, alkali metals, alkali earth metals, other metals and inert elements.
