What are the reactions with alkali metals and water like?

1) Alkali metals are stored in oil to minimise reaction with oxygen or water, it's a physical barrier towards air but the alkali metals still gradually corrode a traces of oxygen and water diffuse through. The reaction of alkali metals with water gets more violent for elements lower in the group e.g. (Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs). Adding them to water will cause an explosion due to the extremely exothermic nature of reaction, and can be rather dangerous and some alkali metals can react violently with just moisture in the air. Most of the alkali metals float on the top of the water, depending on how big the alkali metal is determines the size of the reaction this is because they're less dense that water itself and also during the reaction the alkali metals give of hydrogen gas which is quite flammable. Alkali Metal + Water » Metallic Hydroxide + Hydrogen The francium would be like any other alkali metal, it would be very violent like the other alkali metals.


Why the melting point boiling point and densities of alkaline earth metals are higher than alkali earth metals?

Alkaline earth metals do not exist , only alkali earth metals


Are alkali and alkaline earth metals are not reactive?

No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.


What created when alkaline earth metals and water combined?

When they are reacted, a base and hydrogen gas is produced. This reaction is exothermic.


Which of these groups of metals is the most active alkaline earth alkali halogen coinage?

The alkali group of metals is the most active.

In what way is hydrogen like the alkali metals?

Hydrogen shares some properties with alkali metals, particularly in its ability to lose one electron to form a cation with a +1 charge like alkali metals. However, hydrogen is a nonmetal and not a metal like the alkali metals.


A sample of hydrogen gas is generated from a...?

Hydrogen can by generated, for example, from the reaction between alkali metals and water.


Does hydrogen behave like an alkali metal?

Yes, chemical similarities exist between hydrogen and alkali metals; also the electron configuration has a parallel.


Why hydrogen is placed above alkali metals and not above non metals in modern periodic table?

The electron configuration of hydrogen is similar with that of alkali metals.


Why hydrogen is placed in alkali metals or in first group of modern periodic table?

As with all alkali metals, hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell.


What is the group that hydrogen is in?

Hydrogen is a non-metal; it's in group VII


What gas is chemically similar to alkali metals?

(A similar relationship exists in Group 1, which includes hydrogen and the alkali metals. All have the same valence configuration, but hydrogen is never included as a member of the alkali metals family.)


Which element of the alkali metals is really not a metal?

hydrogen


How is hydrogen done?

For example hydrogen is released when alkali metals react with water.


Is hydrogen a alkali metal or alkaline metal?

Alkali metals can be substituted for hydrogen. Any of them. They include lithim (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr). The alkali metals are in group one of the periodic table of the elements, and are all stacked up in the column below hydrogen. All the alkali metals are all organized with a lone electron in their outer most shell, or valence shell (in the neutral atom) and all of the alkali metals would like to loan out that electron to anything that would like to borrow it. It turns out that the reactivity of alkali metals are least to greatest from the top of the column to the bottom. This is because of electron screening. A link to our friends at Wikipedia is provided.


Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it?

Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it has similar chemical properties, such as having one electron in its outer shell and being reactive. However, hydrogen is not a true alkali metal as it does not readily form a cation with a 1+ charge like the alkali metals do.


When alkali metals are heated with hydrogen they form?

They form alkali metal hydrides. such as LiH and NaH.
