The name "Alkali" is given due to the alkaline nature of their oxides and hydroxides.
The term "Alkali Earth Metals" is used as these metals are usually found as minerals in the Earth's crust.
Group 1: alkali metals Group 2: alkali earth metals
No, alkali metals are not the only earth metals. Earth metals include both alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. Alkaline earth metals are a group of elements in the periodic table that are chemically similar to, but less reactive than, alkali metals. Examples of alkaline earth metals include magnesium, calcium, and barium.
alkaline earth metals
Group 1 in the periodic table is called the alkali metals, and Group 2 is called the alkaline earth metals. These groups of elements share similar chemical properties due to the number of electrons in their outermost energy level.
Alkali metals: group 1 Alkaline earth metals: group 2
They're called the alkali metals, and are comprised of lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr). Group 1A also includes hydrogen (H), though that isn't an alkali metal.
Alkali Earth metals.
No, elements in group 2 are classified as alkaline earth metals, not alkali metals. Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table.
Elements in group 1 are called Alkali Metals, after that group 2 elements are called Alkali Earth Metals, group 3-12 elements are called Transition Elements.
The alkali metals are more reactive.
Alkaline earth metals or the group II metals are called earth metals because they are mostly found as minerals in the earth's crust and constitute a major part of it.
Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called alkali metals. This group includes elements such as lithium, sodium, and potassium. They are highly reactive metals that readily form ionic compounds.
