What else can I help you with?
What family of elements is very reactive to water?
Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)
Are alkali metals found as pure elements in sea water?
Alkali metals exist only as salts.
Is alkali metals highly reactive because of its one valence electrons?
Yes, alkali metals are highly reactive because they have one valence electron that they readily donate to achieve a stable electron configuration. This makes them extremely reactive with water and air, which results in explosive reactions.
Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?
Yes
What happens when metal reacts with metal?
Alkali metals reacts violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen; alkali earth metals react with water but no so violent.Other metals doesn't generally react with water at room temperature.
How do alkali metals react to cold water?
alkali metals react violently in cold water
What is the solubility of alkali metals in water?
The solubility of alkali metals in water is high. Alkali metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium readily dissolve in water to form alkaline solutions.
What family of elements is very reactive to water?
Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)
Is potassium explosive?
Yes all group one elements (alkali metals) are explosive when they come into contact with water.
Why are group 1 metals knowns as alkali metals?
Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
How is cesium harmful?
All alkali metals are highly reactive. Caesium, being one of the heavier alkali metals, is also one of the most reactive and is highly explosive when it comes in contact with water, as the hydrogen gas produced by the reaction is heated by the thermal energy released at the same time, causing ignition, and a violent explosion (the same as all alkali metals) - but caesium is so reactive, this explosive reaction can even be triggered by cold water or ice. Caesium hydroxide is an extremely strong base, and can etch glass.
Are alkali metals found as pure elements in sea water?
Alkali metals exist only as salts.
What is the most reactive group of metals?
The Group (I) , Alkali metals, are the most reactive. In Water : - Lithium ; gently fizzes/ Sodium ; fizzes and spits Potassium ; spits and bangs Rubidium ; bangs nd explodes Caesium ; is Explosive. Francium ; is Radio-Active, so dissolving in water is NOT done. because of the spread of radio-active material.
Is alkali metals highly reactive because of its one valence electrons?
Yes, alkali metals are highly reactive because they have one valence electron that they readily donate to achieve a stable electron configuration. This makes them extremely reactive with water and air, which results in explosive reactions.
Are metals soluble in water?
Metals are generally not soluble in water, with the exception of certain alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
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 the elements of Group 1 are generally known as alkali metals?
Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
