They are highly reactive metals, reacting with water (explosively) and air. In nature they simply would not last very long at all!

i don't know. but i am in chemestry and i need to know.

what i know so far is, that the are found in common substances.

if you are a chemestry teacher you should know! :)

plese get back to me by december 13th. i have a short exam then.

but i also know that They are unstable in air and in water (moisture).

Are alkali metals always found pure in nature?

Alkali metals are not found as pure elements in nature.


Are alkali metals often found as pure elements in sea water?

Alkali metals are not typically found as pure elements in seawater. They are highly reactive and tend to form compounds with other elements rather than exist in their pure metal form. However, trace amounts of alkali metals may be present in seawater due to natural processes or human activities.


Why is it unlikely to find pure alkali in nature?

They are highly reactive.


Are alkali metals readily available in nature?

The alkali metals are all very recative and are not found free in nature (pure elemental form) but are always found as compounds. (minerals)


Are alkali metals found as pure elements in sea water?

Alkali metals exist only as salts.


Why are alkali metals found in many common substances but rarely found in pure form?

Alkali metals are very reactive and readily form compounds with other elements, which are more stable than the pure metals. Therefore, they are commonly found in nature combined with other elements rather than in pure form. Additionally, their high reactivity makes them difficult to isolate and store in a pure state.


Why are group 1 metals called alkaine metals?

They are actually called the alkali metals. They are called the alkali metals because many of the compounds they form are bases (alkaline) and in pure form they will react with water to produce strong bases.


Why are neither the alkali metals or the alkaline-earth metals found uncombined in nature?

Alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are highly reactive and easily form compounds with elements in the environment. Consequently, they are not found in their pure form in nature. Instead, they are typically found as compounds with other elements such as oxygen or sulfur.


Are there pure samples of alkali metals in the earth's crust?

What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals?

All alkali metals have one valence electron, making them highly reactive. They are soft, shiny, and have low melting points. They are typically found in nature in compounds rather than in their pure metal form.


Do Alkali earth metals react with oxygen?

Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.


What ion charges do the alkali metals form?

Alkali metals forn cations with the chrage +1.
