This is francium because having a very lower electronegativity can loss easily an electron.
Metals that lose electrons easily are called "reactive metals" or "electropositive metals." These metals have low ionization energies, which allow them to readily give up electrons to form positive ions.
No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
The elements in the halogen family are in group 7 and thus have 7 valence electrons. They are very reactive because the want an additional electron to complete the octet. They can get this additional electron by reacting with another element willing to donate that electron. A perfect example is an element from group 1 or 2 (alkali or alkali earth) which wants to donate an electron.
Alkali metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions.
The alkali metal group easily lose their outermost electron. This group consists of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.
Group 1 elements, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, easily give up electrons because they have one electron in their outer shell and are highly reactive. Additionally, elements in Group 17, such as fluorine and chlorine, can also easily gain electrons.
Metals that lose electrons easily are called "reactive metals" or "electropositive metals." These metals have low ionization energies, which allow them to readily give up electrons to form positive ions.
Lithium is the first of the alkali metals
No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.
Hydrogen, helium, alkali, alkaline metals.
because it has so many orbitals it has more electrons and it cannot hold onto its electrons as easily and they can easily be snatched away
Yes. the reaction is exothermic and quite violent.
1 valence electron in alkali metals.
Alkali Earth metals have a single valence electron, and are found in the first group.
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
