Which group of periodic table is alkali metals?

Alkali metals are present in the first group of Periodic table. First group indicates that they have only one electron in their outermost orbit. As only one electron is present in the outermost orbit, it is very easy to lose or donate this electron during a chemical reaction.

Where are alkali metals located?

Alkali metals are located in group 1 on the left side of the Periodic table.

Why are alkali metals so reactive?

There are many reasons behind the reactivity of alkali metals. Let us discuss them one by one.

What metals react with water?

When these metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) react with water, they form alkalis (i.e strong base).

How many electrons are in an alkali metal?

Look, as we move down the group from top to bottom, the atomic size increases. Also alkali metals have only one electron in their outermost orbit.

Which element is the most reactive?

And hence the element with bigger atomic size (i.e Francium) is most reactive alkali metal. ( Note: Francium is a laboratory made element. It is available in a very less quantity. And hence for any practical purposes, cesium is considered as the most reactive metal in Periodic table.

Which metal decreases from top to bottom in a group?

Electronegativity of the alkali metals decreases from top to bottom in a group.

Where are transition metals found?

Transition metals are found in the middle part of the Periodic table (from Group 3 to group 11).

Where are alkaline earth metals located?

Alkaline earth metals are located on the left side of the Periodic table in group 2. Alkaline earth metals are also the reactive type of metals but they are less reactive as compared to alkali metals. All the alkaline earth metals have 2 electrons in their outermost orbit.

How many electrons are in an alkaline metal?

All the alkaline earth metals have 2 electrons in their outermost orbit.

How many rare earth metals are there?

There are total 17 Rare Earth metals on the Periodic table. Rare Earth Metals includes all the 15 Lanthanides as well as scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y). So total 15 + 2 = 17 Rare Earth metals.

What is the inner transition metal?

The answer is: These elements have somewhat similar properties like that of transition metals, plus they are the elements of group 3 only, but they are placed at the bottom of the Periodic table as the inner section of group 3. Hence they are known as inner transition metals.

Which metal is the most reactive?

Alkali metals are the most reactive type of metals from the entire Periodic table of elements. As we move down the group from top to bottom in the group 1, the reactivity of alkali metals increases. List of alkali metals with atomic number, symbol and name. Atomic number. Symbol.

What color is heavy metal?

These heavy metals are displayed on the Periodic table with red color (see above image)

Where are metalloids found in the periodic table?

Also we can say that metalloids are present in the diagonal region of the p block on Periodic table.

What is the color of the metalloids in the periodic table?

June 10, 2021 August 25, 2020 by Admin. Metalloids are located between the metals and nonmetals. The orange color on the Periodic table represents metalloids . They form a separating boundary between the metals and nonmetals. In other words, metalloids (semimetals) are located on the right side of the post transition metals and on the left side ...

What are the properties of metalloids?

Let us discuss the physical properties as well as chemical properties of metalloids/semimetals.

What is the chemical reaction between halogens and metalloids?

Metalloids + Halogens = Compounds (metalloid s elements reacts with halogens and finally compounds are formed by this chemical reaction) Metalloids have different metallic allotropes as well as nonmetallic allotropes. Metalloids have the property to form glasses on oxidation and so that are used in glass manufacturing.

What are elements that show some properties of metals as well as solid nonmetals called?

The elements that show some properties of metals as well as solid nonmetals are called metalloids . Metalloids look like metals, but they are not. Metalloids are brittle like solid nonmetals. Metalloids are neither conductor nor insulated. Source ( James L Marshall, Silicon, Germanium / CC BY-SA, CC BY ) The examples of metalloids are:

Why are metalloids called semiconductors?

Metalloids are called semiconductors because they are not good conductors like metals and also they are not bad conductors like nonmetals. They have the conductivity which is higher than nonmetals, but lower than metals. Hence metalloids are known as semiconductors.

How many metalloids are there?

Hence, there are total 6 known metalloids/semimetals on the Periodic table.

Where is magnesium found?

Magnesium is found in its mineral magnesite.

What happens to the metallic character of alkaline earth metals as the atomic size increases?

Down the group, the atomic size increases. And as the atomic size increases, the electron will be lost easily. So the metallic character of alkaline earth metals increases from top to bottom in a group. Read more about: Metallic character trend in periodic table.

What metals react with water?

They also react with water and moisture of the air, if they are kept open. As alkaline earth metals are reactive, they always occur in the compound form in nature. For example; Beryllium is found in its mineral beryl, chrysoberyl and phenacite. Magnesium is found in its mineral magnesite.

What is the name of the metal that does not form an alkaline solution?

See the bold word “alkaline” and “earth” in the above 2 points, you will get the exact reason why they are called alkaline earth metals. ( Note: Beryllium (Be) is the only alkaline earth metal which does not form an alkaline solution on reacting with water.

What happens to electronegativity as we move down in a group?

As we move down in a group, Electronegativity of the alkaline earth metals decreases.

What is the color of alkaline earth metals?

All the alkaline earth metals are silvery-white, shiny and somewhat reactive.

How many valence electrons does an alkaline metal have?

Alkaline earth metals are similar in the following manner. All the alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons in their outermost orbit. They lose these two electrons and form cation with +2 charge. As you can see above that the alkaline earth metals have 2 electrons in the outermost shell.

Where is hydrogen on the periodic table?

Exception: Hydrogen is a nonmetal which is located on the left top corner of the Periodic table.

How many nonmetals are there in the periodic table?

There are 18 nonmetals on the Periodic table. All these nonmetals are located on the upper right corner of the Periodic table (Hydrogen is located on the left top corner) In the above image, the nonmetals are represented in yellow color. [ Note: Astatine (atomic number 85) shows characteristics of nonmetals (halogens) as well as metalloids.

What are nonmetals?

Or in other words nonmetals are those elements which do not possess the properties of metals.

How many electrons are in the outermost orbit of a nonmetal?

Nonmetals have 4 to 8 electrons in their outermost orbit. (Halogens have 7 electrons and noble gases have 8 electrons in outermost orbit)

Why are nonmetals oxidizing agents?

Nonmetals are oxidizing agents because they gain electron/s during a chemical reaction and get reduced.

What does it mean when a solid nonmetal breaks?

Solid nonmetals are brittle in nature. That means they break easily when force is applied on them.

Which nonmetals are the most reactive?

Actually the halogens are the most reactive nonmetals, but we know that as we move down the group, the electronegativity decreases. In other words, Fluorine is at the top of the halogen group and it has less atomic size plus it needs only one electron to complete the octet.
