They form alkali metal hydrides. such as LiH and NaH.
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.
(A similar relationship exists in Group 1, which includes hydrogen and the alkali metals. All have the same valence configuration, but hydrogen is never included as a member of the alkali metals family.)
we call them hydrides. Hydrides are forming by the reaction.
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.
No, hydrogen is a nonmetal. It is grouped with the alkali metals because it has a similar outer shell electron configuration as they do. Hydrogen is something of an oddball among elements. It is rather unique, but share some characteristics with both the halogens and the alkali metals. When the periodic table is divided into groups (noble gasses, halogens, alkali metals, etc.) hydrogen is usually put in its own group.

Alkali metals: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr.

The corresponding metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

The group IA elements are known as alkali metals. This group includes elements such as lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. They are highly reactive metals that readily lose their outermost electron to form a 1+ cation.
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
Alkali metals are highly reactive and tend to form ionic compounds by easily losing their outermost electron. They are soft, shiny, and have low melting points. In reactions, alkali metals typically produce hydrogen gas and form basic solutions.
Alkali Metal + Water ------> Alkali Hydroxide + Hydrogen Alkali Metal Oxide + Water ------> Alkali Hydroxide + Water Example: ================ Sodium + Water ------> Sodium Hydroxide + Hydrogen 2 Na + 2 H2O --------> 2 NaOH + H2
The alkali metals and water form the alkali metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas. 2Alk + H2O => 2Alk OH + H2^ Note that there is a "2" in front of the "Alk" (which is alkali metal). All the alkali metals are in Group 1 of the periodic table, and they all have a +1 valence. They will combine with water in a 2-to-1 ratio. The result will be 2 of the alkali hydroxide molecules and H2 with the "up arrow" to indicate that hydrogen gas is being liberated in the reaction.
