Groups 3-12 do not have individual names. Instead, all of these groups are called transition metals. The atoms of transition metals do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals do. So, transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are.

no


Are alkaline-earth metals reactive?

Alkaline-earth metals are less reactive compared to alkali metals, but they still react with water and oxygen to form oxides and hydroxides. They are more reactive than transition metals but less reactive than alkali metals.


Is the alkali metal more reactive than an alkaline-earth metal?

Yes, alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline-earth metals. All atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer shells. Alkali metals have to give one electron away, where as alkaline-earth metals need to give two away which is less energetically favorable.


What metal is alkali metal?

This is the first column in the Periodic Table. There are six metals that are "Alkali Metals" and six that are "Alkali Earth Metals". The Alkali metals are:LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCaesiumFranciumThese metals get more reactive as you go down the list...Hope I helped :D


Why are alkali metals more reactive than other metals?

Alkali metals are more reactive as they are in group 1 and therefore has only one valence electron. With only one valence electron, its easy for them to achieve inert configuration/ noble gas configuration, which makes them so reactive.


Which metal is more reactive than magnesium?

All the alkali metals.


Which elements are more reactive with oxygen group 1 or group 11?

Elements in group 1 (alkali metals) are typically more reactive with oxygen compared to group 11 (coinage metals). This is because alkali metals have a lower ionization energy and are more likely to form ionic compounds with oxygen.‌


How are alkaline earth metals different from alkali metals in terms of their properties and reactivity?

Alkaline earth metals have higher melting points and densities compared to alkali metals. They are less reactive and have two valence electrons, while alkali metals have one valence electron and are more reactive.


The most reactive metal among the following is?

The most reactive metals of the periodic table are those that belong to alkali group. Among this group, the more electrons contain each atom of each element, the more reactive it is. This is why Francium is the most reactive of alkali metals.


In what ways do alkali metals and alkaline earth metals differ?

Alkali metals and alkaline earth metals differ in their reactivity and properties. Alkali metals are more reactive and have one electron in their outer shell, while alkaline earth metals are less reactive and have two electrons in their outer shell. Additionally, alkali metals are softer and have lower melting points compared to alkaline earth metals.
