How do you classify a metal as alkali alkaline earth or transition metal?

I'm assuming you're thinking of metals like Stainless Steel, Iron, Copper Wiring. These are compound metals made up of several elements. They aren't Transition, Alkali, or Alkaline Earth, they're just metals. Alkali, Alkaline-Earth, and Transition metals are elements, like Sodium or Cobalt. Alkali metal: These are members of group 1 on the periodic table. They are bases (as opposed to acids) and are extremely reactive. They include Sodium and Potassium Alkaline-Earth metals: These are members of group 2 on the periodic table. The are related to the Alkali metals, but are less reactive. They are also alkalines and found in the earth, as the name suggests. Transition metals: These are the most common metals. They are groups 3-I believe 15. They tend to lack acidic or basic properties. They are also the best at carrying electric currents. Hope I helped!

There transition, which is the same thing as magnetic


Does potassium have hardness?

No. Alkali metals such as sodium and potassium are not usually considered contributors to water hardness. The alkaline earth and transition metals (such as calcium and iron) are. Potassium itself is a very soft metal that can be easily cut with a steel knife.


What element can replace iron in a compound during a single replacement?

Any metal element higher in the electromotive series than iron can replace iron in a compound during a single replacement. Metals higher in the electromotive series than iron include all the alkali and alkaline earth metals along with others such as aluminum and zinc.


Is iron and sodium same?

Yes, most transition metals (like iron) have greater densities than alkali or alkaline earth metals.


Why is the magnesium the most reactive metal among silver copper lead zinc and iron?

magnesium is an alkaline earth metal. silver, copper, lead, zinc, and iron are transition metals. alkaline earths are naturally more reactive then transition metals.


Is nonferrous metal an alkali metal?

Not necessarily. Non-ferrous simply means not iron. The term may be used to refer to metals that are unlike iron, but there are very many of them which are not alkali either.
