What else can I help you with?
Are alkali and alkaline earth metals are not reactive?
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
The alkaline earth metals are found in group?
The alkaline earth metals are in the group 2 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
Compare and contrast the reaction of alkaline earth metals with their salts?
All alkaline earth metals and their salts are reactive and they have a blue-print that identifies them as an alkaline earth metal but metals exist as metals, and salts as salts, with different structural compounds.
What arethree alkaline-earth metals besides calcium?
Beryllium, magnesium and barium are three more alkaline earth metals.
Why alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals?
All atoms want to do is make their valence shell full. In alkali metals they have all of their shells completely full except one valence electron. The alkali metals REALLY want to get rid of that electron, so they will react with many elements/compounds to get rid of that electron. In alkaline earth metals they have all of their shells completely full except for two valence electrons. They also want to get rid of those electrons but the alkaline earth metals are not as desperate to do so as the alkali earth metals which make the alkaline much less reactive than the alkali metals.
Does alkaline reacts in water?
Yes, alkaline earth metals react with water forming their hydroxides.
Alkaline-earth metal do not react with oxygen?
Alkaline-earth metals do react with oxygen, forming oxides. The reaction tends to be less vigorous compared to alkali metals, as alkaline-earth metals have a higher ionization energy. Examples of alkaline-earth metal oxides include magnesium oxide (MgO) and calcium oxide (CaO).
What are metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals?
Transition metals such as copper, silver, and gold are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. These metals are less likely to react vigorously with water or air compared to alkali and alkaline-earth metals.
What is group 2A elements known as?
Alkaline Earth Metals
Do metals react with water?
Some, such as the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and a few others do. But most don't.
How does alkaline earth metals react?
Alkaline earth metals are reactive and tend to lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation. They react with water to produce hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions. They also form oxides when they react with oxygen in the air.
Alkaline earth metals do not react with oxygen?
No, they generally do, even at room temperature.
Do Alkali earth metals react with oxygen?
Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
Why are the alkaline earth metals less reactive hen the alkali metals?
The alkaline earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table this means they have 2 electrons in each of their outermost energy 'shells'. The alkaline metals are in group 1 and only have 1 electron to lose in a reaction rather than 2. This means the alkaline metals react more readily.
Do alkali metals react slower or faster than alkaline earth metals?
Alkali metals react faster than alkaline earth metals due to their lower ionization energy and higher reactivity. Alkali metals readily lose their outermost electron to form a +1 cation, making them highly reactive with water and air. Alkaline earth metals, on the other hand, are less reactive as they have higher ionization energies and require more energy to lose their outer electron.
Why are group 2 metals classified as alkaline earth metals?
Group 2 metals are classified as alkaline earth metals because they share similar properties: they are shiny, silvery-white, relatively reactive metals with two electrons in their outer shell. They react with water to form alkaline solutions and are generally less reactive than the alkali metals in Group 1.
Do alkaline earth metals react with oxygen?
Yes, alkaline earth metals react with oxygen to form oxides. For example, magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. This reaction typically results in the formation of a white or gray powder.
