Which elements are called metals?
the elements which is conducting heat, lustrous, react with alkali, etc........
Why do alkaline earth metals react less rapidly than alkali metals?
Alkaline earth metals have two outer electons. Alkali metals have one. It is more energetically favorable (easier) t oremove one electron than two making alkali metals more reactive than alkaline earths.
Which properties of alkali metals unusual metals?
Alkali metal forms Alkali while metals form bases.
How chemically active are alkali metals?
Alkali metals are the most reactive metals.
What are more reactive alkali metals or alkline earth metals?
alkali metals
How are alkali metals different any from other metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
How do alkali metals react with other alkali metals?
They don't
Why are earth alkali metals called earth alkali metals?
Alkali earth metals are named after their oxides, alkaline earth.
Is alkali the only earth metal?
there are alkali metals and alkali earth metals but there is no such thing as an element called alkali...
Which set of elements make up the reactive group of all metals?
The alkali metals in column 1 of most wide-form periodic tables.
Are alkali metal and alkaline earht metals similar?
The alkali earth metals act in a similar but slightly less reactive way to alkali 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.
