What are the differences between alkali metals and transition metals?

Answer 1

1.Both are differ in valency shell electrons

2.I-A are monovalent and II-A are divalent

3.I-A is more reactive then the II-A group .

4.I-A have more electro positive character and II-A have less electro positive character than the

I-A group .

5.I-A have less ionization energy and II-A have high ionization energy than the I-A .

6.I-A have very less electro negativity than the II-A group elements.

7.I-A is soluble in water and II-A is insoluble in water .

8.I-A metals are does not react directly with nitrogen but II-A react with nitrogen directly.

9.I-A group elements are strong reducing agents than the II-A group elements.

10.The oxidation values are differ.

11.I-A obtained in solid state but II-A group in solution state

12.Decomposes on heating I-A give only oxygen but II-A group liberates both oxygen and nitrogen .

Answer 2

Alkali metals are located in group 1 of the Periodic Table, have one electron in their outermost energy level, and are highly reactive. Transition metals are located in groups 3-12, have multiple electrons in their outermost energy level, and exhibit variable oxidation states. Transition metals are also known for their ability to form colorful compounds.

Answer 3

Alkali metals are more reactive. Transition metals are shiny but quikly tarnish.

Alkali metals are stored in oil.

Answer 4

Alkali metals are group 1 elements and have 1 valence electron. Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons. Transition metals are group 3 to group 12 elements.

Answer 5

Alkali metals are soft and has very high reactivity and is low in density but unlike Alkali metals, Transition metals are hard and has high density and is less reactive
