the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
The elements with low electronegativity are the metals, specifically the alkali metals and alkali earth metals. The elements further to the left of the periodic table will have lower electronegativity than those farther to the right.
No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.
alkali metals
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
represent a group of elements called metals. per novanet.
The alkali earth elements have TWO valence electrons.
Alkali-earth metals
The elements with low electronegativity are the metals, specifically the alkali metals and alkali earth metals. The elements further to the left of the periodic table will have lower electronegativity than those farther to the right.
Elements in the same group on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and determine an element's chemical properties.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Alkali metals (group 1 elements) have one valence electron. Hence have one ionization energy Alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electron. Hence have two ionization energy
No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
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.
