In what way is hydrogen like the alkali metals?

Hydrogen shares some properties with alkali metals, particularly in its ability to lose one electron to form a cation with a +1 charge like alkali metals. However, hydrogen is a nonmetal and not a metal like the alkali metals.


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.


How chemically active are alkali metals?

Is alkali the only earth metal?

No, alkali metals are not the only earth metals. Earth metals include both alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. Alkaline earth metals are a group of elements in the periodic table that are chemically similar to, but less reactive than, alkali metals. Examples of alkaline earth metals include magnesium, calcium, and barium.


How are alkali metals different any from other metals?

How do alkali metals react with other alkali metals?

They don't


Why are earth alkali metals called earth alkali metals?

Are alkali metals in groupe 1 elements?

Alkali metals are the metals in family/group I.Lithium, sodium, potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium are 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.


What element is the first of the alkali metals?

Lithium is the first of the alkali metals
