The alkali metals react with fluorine with a bang ( small explosion ), while the alkaline earth metals react not quite as aggressively.
32.
Thus these metals are highly reducing, with reducing power similar to alkaline earth metals such as Mg ( " 2.36 V ).
33.
In part for this reason, alkali and alkaline earth metals are not found in nature in their metallic, i . e ., native, form.
34.
Numerous other metalloids and metals, such as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, lanthanides, transition metals, and other metals have been observed in the creek
35.
This work led directly to the isolation of sodium and potassium from their common compounds and of the alkaline earth metals from theirs in 1808.
36.
Among the ionic solids are compounds formed by alkali and alkaline earth metals in combination with halogens; a classic example is table salt, sodium chloride.
37.
The most common commercial glasses contain both alkali and alkaline earth ions ( usually sodium and calcium ), for easier processing and satisfying corrosion resistance.
38.
Each chapter is on a different group of the periodic table ( hydrogen, the alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals, the transition metals, the transactinides ).
39.
In common with Davy, he held subterraneous thermic disturbances to be probably due to the contact of water with metals of the alkalis and alkaline earths.
40.
Some characteristic properties of silver and sodium astatide, and the other hypothetical alkali and alkaline earth astatides, have been estimated by extrapolation from other metal halides.
