Alkali metals are found in Group 1 of the Periodic Table. This group includes elements such as lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. Alkali metals are characterized by having a single electron in their outermost shell, which makes them highly reactive, especially with water. They are typically soft, shiny, and have low densities compared to other metals.

Where are the alkali and alkaline earth metals located on the periodic table?

Alkali metals: Group 1 in the periodic table Alkaline earth metals: Group 2 Halogens: Group 17 Noble Gases: Group 18 You can easily find them if you look at a periodic table.


Is the alkali metal more reactive than an alkaline-earth metal?

Yes, alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline-earth metals. All atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer shells. Alkali metals have to give one electron away, where as alkaline-earth metals need to give two away which is less energetically favorable.


The alkaline earth metals are found in group?

The alkaline earth metals are in the group 2 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.


How does the solubility changes as you go to lower rows in the periodic table for alkali and alkaline earth metals?

As you move down the periodic table, the solubility of alkali metals (Group 1) generally increases due to their decreasing lattice energy and increasing hydration enthalpy, making their compounds more soluble in water. In contrast, for alkaline earth metals (Group 2), solubility trends can vary; while the solubility of some sulfates decreases down the group, most hydroxides and carbonates become less soluble. Overall, alkali metal compounds tend to be more soluble compared to those of alkaline earth metals.


Which elements are alkaline earth metals?

The alkaline earth metals are a series of elements comprising Group 2 (IUPAC style) (Group IIA) of the periodic table: beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra). This specific group in the periodic table owes its name to their oxides that simply give basic alkaline solutions.
