| 41. | Ziegler s work with free radicals led him to the organo compounds of the alkali metals.
|
| 42. | Pure alkali metals are known examples of this.
|
| 43. | When there are many helium atoms around, alkali metal ions can attract shells of helium atoms.
|
| 44. | For example, if sodium is the alkali metal:
|
| 45. | Many reactions exist with alcohol or amines as the proton donors and alkali metals and electron donors.
|
| 46. | Such alkali metal bromides include cesium bromide.
|
| 47. | This transfer is usually only energetically favorable if the aprotic solvent efficiently solvates the alkali metal ion.
|
| 48. | The alkali metals have good chemical affinity for halogen and should have affinity for excited rare gases.
|
| 49. | Other alkali metal sulfides behave similarly.
|
| 50. | Among the atoms that can act as bosons are ordinary hydrogen, metallic sodium and alkali metals like cesium.
