Why is hydrogen place in the alkaline metals where as in the very first it is a non-metals?
Hydrogen is placed with the alkali metals in the Periodic Table due to its single electron in the outer shell, similar to the alkali metals, which also have one electron in their outermost shell. This similarity leads to comparable chemical behavior, such as the ability to form +1 ions. However, hydrogen is a non-metal and exhibits distinct properties, such as being a gas at room temperature and forming covalent bonds, which differentiates it from the metallic characteristics of alkali metals. This placement reflects its unique properties and behavior rather than a strict classification as a metal.
What else can I help you with?
What comes first the metals or nonmetals?
Metal like Sodium Chloride. Sodium is the Metal and Chloride is the Nonmetal.
Is the ionization energy of alkali metals larger or smaller than the alkaline earth metals in the same period?
It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.
Which family of elements should have the lowest first ionization enegies?
the alkaline metals
Why hydrogen is placed in alkali metals or in first group of modern periodic table?
As with all alkali metals, hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell.
How do you make a periodic table out of Skittles?
you can't really. But if you need to then you can take the different kinds of skittle colors and make them in the shape of the PT (periodic table) and the sort the colors into alkaline metals, alkaline metals, metalloids, nonmetals, noble gases, transition metals, and inner transition metals. I would reccomend looking at a periodic table with color first.
Which 2 groups of metals are the most reactive?
Alkali metals (Group 1) and alkaline earth metals (Group 2) are the most reactive groups of metals. They readily lose electrons to form ions and participate in chemical reactions with nonmetals to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What type of element loses an electron to become an ion?
Alkaline metals and hydrogen, all the elements in the first column of the Periodic Table.
Is hydrogen metals and nonmetals?
Hydrogen, symbol H, atomic number 1, is a non metal.
What are 5 nonmetals?
well, hydrogen, oxygen, helium, neon, nitrogen. honestly? the periodic table? the first 5 elements on the periodic table are non metals
What element is the first member of the alkaline earth metal?
Alkaline earth metals are in the second group. Be is the first metal of them.
What comes first the metals or nonmetals?
Metal like Sodium Chloride. Sodium is the Metal and Chloride is the Nonmetal.
Hydrogen is placed at the top of what column of elements?
It occurs at the top of the metals (alkaline metals) - the first group of elements but while normally shown at the top of the Group 1 elements in the periodic table, the term "alkaline metal" refers only to Group 1 elements from lithium onwards. (Lithium is the next one down)
Is the first element in the alkaline earth group of elements?
No, the first element, hydrogen, is not an alkaline earth metal. The first of those is Beryllium.
Is the ionization energy of alkali metals larger or smaller than the alkaline earth metals in the same period?
It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.
First ionisation energies of alkaline earth metals are higher than those of alkali metals?
Yes, they are.
Alphabetically What are the first and last of the alkaline earth metals?
Alphabetically, the first alkaline earth metal is barium and the last is strontium.
Why are the alkaline earth metals less reactive hen the alkali metals?
The alkaline earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table this means they have 2 electrons in each of their outermost energy 'shells'. The alkaline metals are in group 1 and only have 1 electron to lose in a reaction rather than 2. This means the alkaline metals react more readily.
