The group you're thinking of is group 1, the alkali metals. They include sodium and potassium, and you're right, they are so reactive that they do not exist by themselves. They only exist in compounds with other elements.

Which of the following groups in the periodic table contain elements so reactive that they are never found in the free state?
group 1 and 2
Where are the group 1 metals and what are they called on the periodic table?
They are named as Group(I) in the Periodic Table. However, they are also known as the Alkali Metals. They are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium. Francium is never found in the open lab, as it is radio-active.
Why is metallic sodium not found in nature?
Sodium is highly reactive and never exists in free state. It is always found in the combined state.
What are elements in Groups 1 and 2 and in Groups 13-18?
Group 1- Alkali metals Group 2- Alkali earth metals Group 3-12_Transition metals Group 17-Halogens Group 18-Noble gases
Does the metals decrease or increase as it moves down the group?
What numerous property of metals do you mean? REphrase the question, please, you'll never get a serious answer on this one.
What group of metals is so reactive that the metals are never found as uncombined elements in nature?
The alkali metals
Which groups of metals are most reactive therefore never being found free in nature?
Group 1 and group 2 metals
Which group of metals is so reactive than its members are never found uncombined in nature?
For example platinum group of metals: Pt, Ir, Os, Pd, Rh, Ru.
Alkaline earth metals are not found uncombined?
Never, these metals are very reactive.
Are alkaline earth metals found uncombined?
Never, these metals are very reactive.
Alkali metals are extremely reactive and therefore are never found in?
Alkali metals are extremely reactive and therefore are never found in their metallic state - only in compounds. As an example sodium metal is never found in nature only as compounds like salt etc.
Why are metals like aluminum never found in the Earth as pure metals?
Aluminium is a reactive metal and in nature only the most unreactive metals (such as gold) are found in thir pure form.
What group of metals is characterized by a single valence electrons and very reactive atoms?
The alkali metals easily yield the one electron found in their valence shell, to bond with other elements. Since it takes so little energy to remove this electron from an alkali metal (i.e., they have a low ionization energy) these metals are never found in nature in their elemental forms (they are too reactive; i.e., their atoms so easily bond to other atoms).
Why are the elements in group 1 never found in nature?
Because they are highly reactive with many other elements.
What kind of ions do alkali metals form?
Alkali is a base that dissolves in water. It is highly reactive, but never found in elemental forms of nature.
Which of the following groups in the periodic table contain elements so reactive that they are never found in the free state?
group 1 and 2
Why do metals at the top of the activity series never found in the nature as free elements?
because they are too reactive to exist on their own, they bond with other elements in nature to satisfy their need for electrons
