Silicon is neither an alkali metal nor an alkaline earth metal. It is a metalloid, which means it has properties of both metals and nonmetals. Silicon is located in the p-block of the Periodic Table, specifically in group 14. Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table, while alkaline earth metals are found in group 2.
Alkali metal hydroxides are strong bases that are highly water-soluble, forming alkaline solutions. Alkaline earth metal hydroxides are also bases but are less soluble in water compared to alkali metal hydroxides, resulting in less alkaline solutions.
The density of alkaline earth metals is generally higher than that of alkali metals. This is because alkali metals have only one valence electron and are larger in size compared to alkaline earth metals, which have two valence electrons and are smaller in size. The higher density of alkaline earth metals is due to their more compact atomic structure.
Group 2 (alkaline earth metals): lithium, sodium, potassium, caesium, rubidium, francium.
Sodium is not a living thing. and hence, no family. but it belongs to the alkaline earth metals. Sodium is an Alkaline metal. The Alkaline Earths are the next column over.
Bromine is part of the representative elements
Silicon is a semiconductor. It is widely used in electronic devices due to its semiconducting properties, which allow it to be either a conductor or an insulator depending on the conditions. Silicon is not classified as an alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal, or transition metal.
It is an alkaline earth element
It is not a alkaline metal.It is a alkaline earth metal.
No, it is an alkaline-earth metal.
No- it is an alkaline earth metal.
Yes they are.
niether it is a transition metal
Alkali metal hydroxides are strong bases that are highly water-soluble, forming alkaline solutions. Alkaline earth metal hydroxides are also bases but are less soluble in water compared to alkali metal hydroxides, resulting in less alkaline solutions.
Lithium belongs to first group.So it is a alkali metal.
alkali earth metal
strong bases
Strontium is not an alkali metal; it is an alkaline earth metal. Alkali metals are Group 1 elements, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, while alkaline earth metals are Group 2 elements, including strontium.
