What else can I help you with?
Is helium in the alkali metals or alkali earth metals?
neither. it is a noble gas
What is the Compare and contrast the properties of the halogens with alkali metal?
elements in the halogen family react easily with other elements whose atoms can give up electrons.alkali metals lose one electron they are left with 0 valence electrons and they become more chemically stable
When the alkali metals react with they make a gas called?
It depends on what they are reacting with.
What state are most alkali metals?
Most alkali metals are found in solid state at room temperature, except for the lightest alkali metal, lithium, which is a soft metal. Alkali metals are highly reactive and easily lose their outermost electron to form positive ions.
Are most active metals found in the noble gas family?
No; the noble gas family doesn't contain any metals in it, it only has gases. Also it contains all of the least reactive elements. The most reactive metals are in the alkali metal family, group 1, lithoium , sodium, poatssium etc..
Is helium in the alkali metals or alkali earth metals?
neither. it is a noble gas
Is sodium a halogen a noble gas a alkali metal or a alkaline earth metal element?
It is located, in the periodic table, with the metalloids. However, it is a transition metal.
How many electrons away from a noble gas are the alkali metals?
Alkali metals have one electron more than the noble gases.

When the alkali metals react with they make a gas called?
It depends on what they are reacting with.
When alkali earth metals react with water what do they produce?
When alkali earth metals react with water, they produce metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas. The reaction is generally violent and releases heat.
What state are most alkali metals?
Most alkali metals are found in solid state at room temperature, except for the lightest alkali metal, lithium, which is a soft metal. Alkali metals are highly reactive and easily lose their outermost electron to form positive ions.
Why are alkali and alkali earth metals not used for making conducting wires and equipment?
They burn in atmospheric air, such metals are stored in oil under dry nitrogen gas.
Are most active metals found in the noble gas family?
No; the noble gas family doesn't contain any metals in it, it only has gases. Also it contains all of the least reactive elements. The most reactive metals are in the alkali metal family, group 1, lithoium , sodium, poatssium etc..
Why do alkali metals have lower ionization energies than the alkali earth metals?
Alkali gases only have 1 electron needing to be removed to reach a stable noble gas configuration. Alkaline earths have two electrons. Alkali metals thus have the lower ionization energy of the two groups.
Which metals forms ions with a noble gas electron configuration?
Transition metals such as copper, silver, and gold can form ions with a noble gas electron configuration. This occurs when they lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the nearest noble gas.
Do alkali earth metals react with water?
Yes. Explosively. They will react to produce a metal hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and a bunch of heat. Here's the equation for sodium (Na, #11) reacting with water: 2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2 The reaction is violently exothermic to the point where the hydrogen gas ignites and explodes, which itself is a separate reaction: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
