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 gas is chemically similar to 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.)


When alkali metals are heated with hydrongen they form?

we call them hydrides. Hydrides are forming by the reaction.


Which metals react with water to form hydrogen?

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


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.


Alkali metals combine with water to form what?

The corresponding metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.


Can Hydrogen make bond with alkali metals?

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.


What is the name of the group IA elements?

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.


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


What do alkali metals behave like?

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.


The word equation for the reaction of alkali metals with water?

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


What does alkali metals form when it react with water?

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.
