No, hydrogen is a nonmetal.
It is grouped with the alkali metals because it has a similar outer shell electron configuration as they do.
Hydrogen is something of an oddball among elements. It is rather unique, but share some characteristics with both the halogens and the alkali metals. When the Periodic Table is divided into groups (noble gasses, halogens, alkali metals, etc.) hydrogen is usually put in its own group.
What else can I help you with?
Why are the elements of group IA called alkali metals?
yes you are true. we call them alkali metals.
When the alkali metals react with they make a gas called?
It depends on what they are reacting with.
What elements would it be easier to remove two electrons from?
The halogens (group 17) and the alkali metals (group 1) combine to make full-shell compounds. The noble gases, group 18, already contains full shells and does not bond easily because of this.
Do alkali metals generally make anions or cations?
Alkali metals generally form cations by losing their outermost electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
If the atomic number of iodine is 53 how many bond will it make with hydrogen?
One covalent bond is between iodine and hydrogen.
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.
Are alkali earth metals liquids?
no, the alkali metals make up the first period and all of them are highly reactive.
Is alkali metals can be cut simply by knife but iron cannot because of alkali metals have?
Alkali metals can be cut with a knife because they are soft and have low melting points. Iron cannot be cut easily with a knife because it is a strong and hard metal. The differences in properties between alkali metals and iron make alkali metals easier to cut with a knife.
Can Mercury bond with Alkali Earth Metals?
Yes, Mercury can form alloys with alkali earth metals such as calcium, strontium, and barium. These alloys are known as amalgams and are commonly used in dentistry and industry due to their unique properties.
Which set of elements make up the reactive group of all metals?
The reactive group of all metals consists of elements located in Group 1 and Group 2 of the periodic table, known as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, respectively. These metals are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions.
Is hydrogen an alkali metal in the periodic table?
No, it isn't. One of the clues of telling that is isn't, is that hydrogen is a gas, and If it was an alkali METAL, it would not be a gas, but a metal. Its place on the table does make sense, though; hydrogen tends to behave like other members of it's column in chemical reactions. For example, All of the alkali metals, and hydrogen Combine with oxygen to form the compound X2O, where "X" is either Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potasium, Rubidium, Cesium, or Francium.
How do we use alkali metals in fireworks?
it helps make the colors
Lithium is a member of which chemical family?
The alkali metals. Lithium is the first member of the alkali metal family. The alkali metals are the elements that make up Group 1 (IA) of the periodic table.
Why are the elements of group IA called alkali metals?
yes you are true. we call them alkali metals.
When the alkali metals react with they make a gas called?
It depends on what they are reacting with.
What metal is used with water to make hydrogon?
Most alkali metals.
Why alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals?
All atoms want to do is make their valence shell full. In alkali metals they have all of their shells completely full except one valence electron. The alkali metals REALLY want to get rid of that electron, so they will react with many elements/compounds to get rid of that electron. In alkaline earth metals they have all of their shells completely full except for two valence electrons. They also want to get rid of those electrons but the alkaline earth metals are not as desperate to do so as the alkali earth metals which make the alkaline much less reactive than the alkali metals.
