Is the ionization energy of alkali metals larger or smaller than the alkaline earth metals in the same period?

It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.


Are ions of alkali metals larger or smallest than ions of alkaline earth metals from the same period?

Ions of alkali metals are generally larger than ions of alkaline earth metals from the same period because alkali metals have only one outer electron, leading to a larger atomic radius and therefore a larger ion size compared to alkaline earth metals, which have two outer electrons.

Alkali metal in period 3?

Sodium (Na) is the alkali metal in period 3 of the periodic table. It is located in group 1 and is known for its high reactivity with water and air. Sodium is commonly found in salts, such as sodium chloride (table salt).


What are denser harder have higher melting points and are slightly less active than alkali metals in the same period?

These are characteristics of alkaline earth metals, such as calcium and magnesium. They have tightly packed metallic lattices, making them denser and harder than alkali metals. Their higher melting points and lower reactivity compared to alkali metals can be attributed to their lower atomic size and increased nuclear charge.


What alkali metal has the biggest radius?

The alkali metal. The alkali metal has less protons in the nucleus compared to the halogen in the same period and therefore exerts a relatively smaller attractive force on the outer-most shell electrons, enabling them to stray further away.


How do the valence electrons configurations of the alkali metals compare with each other?

The valance electron configuration is the same in each at ns1 where n = the period number.
