Most readily hydroxide ions (OH-) from water. Also, halogens react very readily (1:1 ratio). They are also readily oxidised. See the related video for reactions with water and oxygen

What elements react the best with the alkali metals?

Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.

They don't


How do alkali metals react to cold water?

alkali metals react violently in cold water


Do non metals react with water?

Most of them do NOT react with water. Only fluorine and to some extend chlorine do. Actually the only good 'water reacting' group of elements is group 1: the alkali metals.


Do Alkali earth metals react with oxygen?

Yes, alkaline earth metals react with oxygen to form oxides. This reaction is more vigorous than with alkali metals but less than with alkali metals.


What happens when the alkali metals react with chlorine?

They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.


Why are group 1 metals knowns as alkali metals?

Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).


Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?

Yes


What is the name of group one?

Except for Hydrogen, which is a non-metal, group one is composed of alkali metals. They react very quickly.


What family of elements is very reactive to water?

Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)


What is the metal that reacts explosively with acids?

All alkali metals and alkali earth metals below calcium react vigorously with acids.


Which metals does not react with water?

Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
