What element of group 1 is not known as an alkali metal?

Hydrogen is in group 1 but is not an alkali metal.


What group 1 element is not an alkali metal?

The alkali metals are the metals in Group 1 (the first column of the periodic table). Hydrogen is also in Group 1, and so is technically considered to be part of the alkali metal group/family. Hydrogen is in fact a non-metal, however, and does not generally exhibit behavior similar to the other Group 1 elements.

Electron.


What has only 1 electron and behaves like an alkali?

There is no metal like you describe in your question. Hydrogen is in Group 1, but is not an alkali metal. It is a gas at standard temperature. It does rarely behave like an alkali metal, and it does have only one electron. Hydrogen is in Group 1 primarily because of its electron configuration, which is 1s1. All of the alkali metals also have one electron in their outermost s orbital.


Why is it that hydrogen is placed in the metal group?

Hydrogen is placed in the metal group because it only needs to lose one electron to be stable just like lithium, sodium, potassium etc It also has the same number of valence electrons as the rest of the elements in group 1a. :)

Hydrogen Carbon Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorus Sulfur Selenium
