Why the elements of Group 1 are generally known as alkali metals?

Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).


What family of elements is very reactive to water?

Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)


Why are group 1 metals knowns as alkali metals?

Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).


Are alkali metals often found as pure elements in sea water?

Alkali metals are not typically found as pure elements in seawater. They are highly reactive and tend to form compounds with other elements rather than exist in their pure metal form. However, trace amounts of alkali metals may be present in seawater due to natural processes or human activities.


Why are elkali metals such as sodium not found in nature as elements?

alkali metals are highly reactive especially with water so they tend to form compounds in nature.


Why the group 1 element of periodic table are called alkali metals?

Group 1A elements are active metals. They are so active that they are never found free in nature. They are usually stored in oil. They form compounds with oxygen that dissolve in water to give solutions that are alkaline or caustic. They are called alkali metals, or simply the alkalis.


Is alkali metals a group 1 elements?

No that is group 2. Group 1 is called Alkali metals.


What groups are the very reactive elements from?

The very reactive elements are typically found in Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 17 (halogens) of the periodic table. Alkali metals tend to react violently with water, while halogens are known for their high reactivity and tendency to form salts with metals.


Does alkali metals occur freely in nature?

Alkali metals such as sodium and potassium are found in nature in various compounds, but they are not typically found in their pure form. They are highly reactive and readily react with other elements to form compounds.


What are features of the alkali metals?

Alkali metals have only one valence electron and all of these elements are highly reactive. All of them are metals. Except lithium, other elements can be cut by a blade. They have a lesser density than water.


What metal is alkali metal?

This is the first column in the Periodic Table. There are six metals that are "Alkali Metals" and six that are "Alkali Earth Metals". The Alkali metals are:LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCaesiumFranciumThese metals get more reactive as you go down the list...Hope I helped :D


What name is given to group one elements in the periodic table?

The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. Some other cool facts are: --Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity --The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. --Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.
