How are Alkaline metals compared to alkali metals?
alkali metals are the "mad" elements who explode when exposed to a certain element. for example, sodium cannot be exposed to hydrogen, or it will explode. on the other hand, alkaline earth metals are good conductors, but they do not explode. they also come only from the earth and its crust.
Why do alkali metals explode in water?
Alkali metals explode in water because they react violently with the water, releasing hydrogen gas and heat. This reaction is highly exothermic and can lead to an explosion due to the rapid release of energy.
Does silver explode when it touches water?
Silver wouldn't explode at all in water! Unless it were the alkali/alkaline earth metals they would.
What family in the periodic table will explode when coming into contact with water?
group 1 or alkali metals
How chemically active are alkali metals?
Alkali metals are the most reactive metals.
What are more reactive alkali metals or alkline earth metals?
alkali metals
What name is given to group one elements in the periodic table?
The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. Some other cool facts are: --Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity --The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. --Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.
How are alkali metals different any from other metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
Is alkali the only earth metal?
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.
How do alkali metals react with other alkali metals?
They don't
Why are earth alkali metals called earth alkali metals?
Alkali earth metals are named after their oxides, alkaline earth.
What are the group of soft silvery reactive metals known as?
alkali metals
