it is because transition metals falls under differen group in the period table.

Alkali elements falls in frirst group

alkali earth metal falls in second group

and the followed by groups are transition elemets

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.


How do transition metals compare to the reactivity of the alkalia or alkaline earth metals and why?

Transition metals generally have less reactivity than alkali or alkaline earth metals. This is because transition metals have more filled electron shells which provide greater stability, making it harder for them to lose or gain electrons compared to alkali or alkaline earth metals. Transition metals typically form compounds by sharing electrons or by forming complex ions, unlike alkali or alkaline earth metals that readily form simple ionic compounds by losing electrons.


Are alkali earth metals hard or soft?

Alkali earth metals are relatively soft compared to transition metals, like iron or copper. They can be cut with a knife due to their low hardness.


What side of a periodic table of elements has metallic properties?

the groups of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and other metal are all metals and some of the metalloids have metallic properties and the alkali, alkaline are on the left, transition metals are in the middle, other metals are located directly next to the transition metals and the metalloids are next to the other metals, and then you have halogens and Nobel gases, Lanthanides and Actinides which are all gases and rare earth.


Is alkali the only earth metal?

No, alkali metals are not the only earth metals. Earth metals include both alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. Alkaline earth metals are a group of elements in the periodic table that are chemically similar to, but less reactive than, alkali metals. Examples of alkaline earth metals include magnesium, calcium, and barium.

How do the properties of the transition element compare with those of the alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals?

Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and Mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).

How many valence electrons may metals have?

Different metals have different numbers of valence electrons. The alkali metals have 1. The alkaline-earth, transition, and inner transition metals have 2. Aluminum and those in its column have 3, tin and lead have 4.

Why are transition metals not as reactive as alkali metals and alkali earth metals?

transition elements are not as reactive as alkali metals or alkaline earth metals.. this is so because of the valence electronic configurations. alkali metals have ns1 configurations which have easy chances of loosing electrons so as to gain the stable state. Attaining a stable state is the law of nature. hence to attain it they have to redily donate electron. this is not so easily possible for the transition elements..


What are theSections of the periodic table?

There are eight classifications of elements in the periodic table. They are: Non-metals, transition metals, rare earth metals, halogens, alkali metals, alkali earth metals, other metals and inert elements.
