Alkali metals tend to react quite violently with water, so if it rained any structure built out of them would be destroyed.

Are alkali metals never found as elements?

No


Are alkali metals never found as uncombined elements?

No


What group of metals is so reactive that the metals are never found as uncombined elements in nature?

Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, are so reactive that they are never found as uncombined elements in nature. They readily react with other elements to form compounds.


Is it true that alkali metals are never found as uncombined elements?

true


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.)


What kind of ions do alkali metals form?

Alkali is a base that dissolves in water. It is highly reactive, but never found in elemental forms of nature.


Why the group 1 element of periodic table are called alkali metals?

Group 1A elements are active metals. They are so active that they are never found free in nature. They are usually stored in oil. They form compounds with oxygen that dissolve in water to give solutions that are alkaline or caustic. They are called alkali metals, or simply the alkalis.


What group of metals is so reactive that the metals are never found as?

The group you're thinking of is group 1, the alkali metals. They include sodium and potassium, and you're right, they are so reactive that they do not exist by themselves. They only exist in compounds with other elements.


Where are the group 1 metals and what are they called on the periodic table?

They are named as Group(I) in the Periodic Table. However, they are also known as the Alkali Metals. They are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium. Francium is never found in the open lab, as it is radio-active.


Alkali metals are extremely reactive and therefore are never found in?

Alkali metals are extremely reactive and therefore are never found in their metallic state - only in compounds. As an example sodium metal is never found in nature only as compounds like salt etc.


What are elements in Groups 1 and 2 and in Groups 13-18?

Group 1: Alkali metals like lithium, sodium, potassium. Group 2: Alkaline earth metals like beryllium, magnesium, calcium. Groups 13-18 correspond to the p-block elements including boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, and noble gases such as helium, neon, argon.


Which of the following groups in the periodic table contain elements so reactive that they are never found in the free state?

Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 17 (halogens) in the periodic table contain elements that are highly reactive and are never found in their free state in nature. Alkali metals readily react with water or air, while halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that form compounds with other elements quickly.
