Alkali metal atoms can often be substituted by other atoms under the right conditions
An example is Caesium in Caesium Chloride. By heating Caesium chloride with Calcium metal, caesium is substituted by calcium and the caesium can be distilled off at about 700oC under vacuum. This seems surprising, particularly given the higher reactivity of caesium, but the greater lattice energy of calcium chloride makes this the energetically preferred product over caesium chloride and drives the reaction.
(As an aside, this was the most terrifying reaction that I ever did in a lab because of the high temperature caesium that is produced...)

Why alkali metals can't be reduced by carbon reduction method?
Alkali metals like sodium and potassium are very reactive and have a strong tendency to form compounds with other elements. When carbon is used for reduction, it is not strong enough to overcome the reactivity of alkali metals and therefore cannot reduce them. Specialized methods using more reactive materials are needed to reduce alkali metals effectively.
Why are transition metals better for making jewelry than alkali metals?
Alkali metals are known for there ability to destroy blood plankta inside your blood stream (been 3 recorded deaths so far). Also transition metals are known for there low electronegativity and there ability to produce amphiprotic substances. Just so many awesome reasons why you cant pass transition metals.
Why you cant find alkali earth metal free in nature?
Alkaline earth metals are not found freely in nature because they are highly reactive and readily form compounds with other elements. These elements quickly react with oxygen and water in the environment to form oxides and hydroxides, making them inherently unstable in their elemental form. Therefore, they are commonly found as compounds in minerals rather than as pure, free metals.
Why is hydrogen not part of the alkali metal or halogen chemical family?
Hydrogen is really in a category by itself; it isn't normally considered an alkali metal. Some periodic tables put it at the top center of the chart (that is, not in any of the groups) to emphasize that.
Why cant flame test be use to identify non metals?
Non metals cannot emit a colored light.

Are non metals magnetic?
no you cant because they dont have the ability to do that.
Why cant flame test be use to identify non metals?
Non metals cannot emit a colored light.
What product is manifactured by electrolisis?
You cant manufacture using electrolysis, but you can separate metals from their compound state, metals such as aluminium (reactive metals).This is often a very expensive process.Hope this helps!
What can catch on fire?
almost anything some metals cant catch on fire...
If you cheat in spore can you get medals?
Well, some cheats effects can get you metals, but using cheats cant
What is it is 915 silver?
915 silver is an alloy composed of 91.5% silver and 8.5% other metals. It is commonly used in jewelry and other decorative items for its durability and strength, while still maintaining a high silver content.
Why baking soda in nut brittle?
No, you cant. Salt does not have the same effect and wont make your peanut brittle rise. The baking soda is a rising agent- it should not be substituted.
