Alkali metals are good conductors of electricity, though they are not as conductive as transition metals like copper or silver. They are also fairly good thermal conductors.

The melting point of alkali metals is low.


Are alkali metals conductive?

yes, all metals conduct. It is one of their defining properties.


What generalizations can you make about transition metals?

Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. They tend to be shiny and conduct thermal energy well.Hope this helps!~ I first I didn't get it either. : )


How many electrons occupy the highest energy sublevel of alkali metals?

One electron occupies the highest energy sublevel of alkali metals. Alkali metals have one electron in their outermost energy level, making them highly reactive.


Do alkali metals conduct heat and electricity?

Yes, they are metals- good conductivity is a characteristic of metals that have delocalised electron clouds.


Are alkali metals thermal or electrical conductivity?

Alkali metals exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity due to the presence of a single valence electron that can easily flow and carry heat or electricity through the material. This is why alkali metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium are often used in batteries and other electronic applications.


Is the ionization energy of alkali metals larger or smaller than the alkaline earth metals in the same period?

It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.


What is the relationship between ionization energy and the alkali metals?

There is no relation ship. They have the lowest ionization energies.


Does alkali metals have a full outer energy level?

No, they don't.


Which group metals are very reactive with one electron in the outer energy level?

Alkali metals


Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it?

Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it has similar chemical properties, such as having one electron in its outer shell and being reactive. However, hydrogen is not a true alkali metal as it does not readily form a cation with a 1+ charge like the alkali metals do.
