why do alkali metels not show +2 oxidation state
he put them in groups to show acids from alkali's and gasses from metals
Yes they are!even though they are very soft, reactive and not as widely used as much as transition metals eg. in construction they still have other metallic properties, such as metallic bonding.Yes all alkali metals are metals.
Hydrogen is placed above alkali metals in the Periodic Table because it shares similar properties with alkali metals, such as having one electron in its outer shell. Although hydrogen can also form compounds with non-metals, it is grouped with alkali metals due to its similar chemical behavior.
Lanthanides and actinides are generally less reactive than alkali or alkaline earth metals. They tend to form stable compounds and exhibit a variety of oxidation states due to the presence of f-orbitals in their electronic configuration. Actinides may show greater reactivity due to the availability of f-orbitals for bonding.
why do alkali metels not show +2 oxidation state
The question should be either 'alkali metals' or 'alkaline earth metals'. For alkali metals or group 1 elements, the oxidation number is +1 (note. hyddrogen can have +1 and -1). For alkaline earth metals, the oxidation number is +2 In addition all these elements will have an oxidation number of 0 in their elemental form
All Alkali metals show metallic lustre ,which can be explained by the oscillation of free electrons.
Potassium and Lithium

oxygen and fluorine
When halogens bind to more electropositive elements (compared it itself), they show -1 oxidation state. When halogens bind to more electronegative elements (compared it itself), they show +1 oxidation state.
Yes, alkali metals are more reactive than transition metals. This is because alkali metals have low ionization energies and readily lose their outermost electron to form positive ions, whereas transition metals have higher ionization energies and show a more variable reactivity depending on the particular metal and conditions.
Hydrogen is placed above alkali metals in the Periodic Table because it shares similar properties with alkali metals, such as having one electron in its outer shell. Although hydrogen can also form compounds with non-metals, it is grouped with alkali metals due to its similar chemical behavior.
Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. This loss of electrons results in a positive oxidation state. The positive charge corresponds to the number of electrons that the metal has lost in order to become stable.
