What reacts quickly with water and acids?
The alkali metals violently react with water and acids as Na and K.
Which of the two following two elements will likely form an ionic bond na and k na and cl mg and li s and cl?
Na and K are both metals and do not react Na and Cl are metal and non metal respectively and will form ionic compound, NaCl or table salt or sodium chloride Mg and Li are both metals and do not react S and Cl are both non metals and will give covalent compounds
Why doesn't potassium react with water when inside the human body?
Because potassium (symbol K) is a metal and very reactive (like sodium, Na ) but in the body fluid it is NOT the metal form, but the 'innocent' ionic (= oxidised, or salty) form: symbolised by K+ and Na+
What does Li Na and K have in common?
Lithium, sodium and potassium are all group I elements. They are also called alkali metals. They react violently with water to form strongly alkaline solutions. The elements, as we descend the group in the periodic table, become increasingly reactive.Li Na K are alkali metals. They are present in group-1. They have one valence electron.All of these elements are located in group 1 of the periodic table. Each of these elements are highly reactive metals. They react with acids to produce salts. All of these are good conductors of electricity and heat.Li,Na and K are in the 1st group of the periodic table. They are alkaline metals. They all have a valency of 1.
Can you name 3 acids and 3 alkalis?
Acids:Sulphric Acid [H2SO4]Nitric Acid [HNO3]Hydrochloric Acid [HCl]Alkalis:Lithium [Li]Sodium [Na]Potassium [K]
What reacts quickly with water and acids?
The alkali metals violently react with water and acids as Na and K.
Which element reacts when it comes into contact with dilute acid?
All the metals above Hydrogen in electro chemical series as K,Na,Ca,Mg,Fe e.t.c when react with dilute acids produce hydrogen gas.
Which metals react with water to form hydrogen?
Alkali metals: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr.
Are metals Na and K inactive or active?
K is potassium. Na is sodium. They are both akali metals which react violently with water. I actually did a project on potassium. I sadly actually don't know what inactive and active means.
What is aprote?
Are cations that cannot donate or accept protons and so they are neither acids or bases (e.g. Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++) .

Are the elements Na and K the same are different?
No they are absolutely not. Na is sodium and K is potassium they have different numbers of protons sodium having 11 and potassium having 19 therefore they are different elements. but because they have one outstanding electron on the last row they react similarly.
What are the metals kept under a paraffin?
Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (potassium). They are highly reactive - they react violently with water and also react with oxygen.
What bonds is the strongest Na-I or Na-Cl or K-I or K-Cl?
In neurons, ________ ions are at higher concentration inside the cell and ________ ions are at higher concentration in the extracellular fluid. A) Cl; organically bound B) Cl; K C) K; Na D) Cl; Na E) Na; K
Metals can be stored in what?
All of the 1st group metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) because they react with the air and many other things.
