How does alkali earth metals reacts to other elements in the periodic table?
Through compounds (one element plus another (only some have been found the periodic table always changes))
What form do you get when sodium reacts with nonmetal chlorine?
a noble gas.
What happens when non-metals reacts with water?
neutral Depends on the nonmetal. Fluorine reacts differentpy from boron.
