Litmus paper changes color in acidic (red) and basic (blue) solutions. Given that "alkaline" is a synonym for basic, the title for Group IIA metals would literally be The Basic Earth Metals. Furthermore, "earth" is used because of the elements natural occurrence in the planet. It can also be determined from a lab that after Calcium (Ca) turnings are placed into distilled water, litmus paper will turn blue signifying the previously acidic solution has become more basic; many metals in Group IIA are the same.
Group II are alkaline earth metals. They are named alkaline because of the oxidation compounds that form basic alkaline solutions. They are named earth because they have extremely high melting temperatures, so they remain earth when placed in fire.
in genral term alkali means base hence these all element react with water and produce strong alkyl hydroxide & these behaviour increases down the group
Group 1 elements dissolve in water to form alkali (or bases). Hence they are called alkali metals.
It is in the s block. they are highly reactive.
Because they react with water to form hydroxides which, in solution, are called alkalis.
Alkali metals are in the first group of the periodic table of Mendeleev: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, francium.
The Alkali Metals
The alkali metals.
Metals are found in group-1 and 2. Group-1 are called alkalis and group-2 are called alkaline earth metals.
Group or familyThis is group 1, the alkali metals
Alkai metals are in group 1 on the periodic table
Alkali metals are in the first group of the periodic table of Mendeleev: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, francium.
alkai metals
The elements of Group 1 are called the Alkali metals they are: configuration, lithium sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.
Alkali metals
The Alkali Metals
They are usually called alkaline earth metals.
The elements in Group 1 are also known as alkali metals, or they are sometimes referred to as the lithium family. Answer: Alkali Metals or Lithium Family
The elements of the 1st GROUP of the periodic table are called alkali metals. The elements of the 17th GROUP of the periodic table are called halogens. Alkali metals are soft metals whereas halogens are non-metals.
The halogens.
The alkali metals.
They are called alkaline earth metals. They are a group of highly reactive metals.
