What is the bond found in metals?

Metallic bond is the reaction between molecules within metals, called alkali reactive force.


Which group do alkali metals bond with?

Alkali metals typically bond with elements from Group 17, known as the halogens. This is because alkali metals have one electron to donate, while halogens have one electron missing to complete their outer electron shell, creating an opportunity for a strong ionic bond to form between the two groups.


Why is the alkali metal more reactive that an alkaline earth metal?

the alkali metals have one valence electron, or one electron available to bond with another particle. this lets them bond easily with, lets say, a halogen, which has one 'slot' for an electron. two atoms of an alkali metal would be able to bond with a chalcogen, and so on. it's really all in the number of electrons. the alkaline earth metals have two valence electrons, so they would bond less easily with other elements.


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.
