How reactive sodium?
Very reactive! You will very rarely see any pure sodium in nature because this alkali metal is so electronegatively weak that it will react with many nonmetals by electron donation.
What is the name of a no acid and alkali substance?
They are called as neutral solutions. A common example is pure water.
Why is pure gold more likely to be found in the ground than pure sodium?
Gold does not easily bond with other elements found in the earth. However, sodium bonds quite easily with other common elements such as nitrogen and chlorine, so to find pure sodium is unlikely.
Why are elements rarely found as pure substances?
The Group 1 elements, the alkali metals, are so reactive that they have to be stored in oil; they will react explosively with water and since water is so prevalent in nature and the alkali metals are so unstable, you'd be very hard-pressed to find a naturally occurring sample. I urge you to go on youtube and look up reactions of Group 1 metals reacting with water. It's quite amusing.
Can phosphorus be found in pure form?
Pure phosphorus is extracted my chemical means and can be bought, but it does not occur in nature.
Why is it unlikely to find pure alkali metals in a nature?
They are very reactive
Are alkali metals always found pure in nature?
Alkali metals are not found as pure elements in nature.
Are alkali metals readily available in nature?
The alkali metals are all very recative and are not found free in nature (pure elemental form) but are always found as compounds. (minerals)
Is rubidium a pure element of nature?
Yes, rubidium is a pure element found in nature. It is an alkali metal and is the 16th most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Rubidium is most commonly obtained as a byproduct of lithium production or extracted from certain minerals.
Why alkalai metals are found as compounds?
Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, are highly reactive and tend to combine quickly with other elements in nature to form compounds. This is because they have only one valence electron, which they easily lose to achieve a stable electron configuration. Therefore, it is rare to find pure alkali metals in their elemental form in nature.
Is pure water is alkali?
No,pure water is not alkali.Pure water is neutral.
Are alkali metals found as pure elements in sea water?
Alkali metals exist only as salts.
Can you find calcium in nature?
Pure calcium is hard to find. But things like oyster shells have calcium in them.
Are there pure samples of alkali metals in the earth's crust?

How reactive sodium?
Very reactive! You will very rarely see any pure sodium in nature because this alkali metal is so electronegatively weak that it will react with many nonmetals by electron donation.
What are two different chemical properties of Magnesium thanks?
Burns violently with a blinding white light, alkali earth metal, very reactive metal, not found in pure state in nature due to this.
Why pure water is considered as insulator?
Yes! Pure distilled water is an insulator. it is the minerals, alkali's and acids in the contaminates that determine the resistivity of water!
