**URGENT!!*** Compare lithium (Li) in group Ia (1) to fluorine (F) is in group VIIa (17). Does each element want to give or take electrons? Are these two elements likely to bond with each other? Select all that apply. * Li wants to take 1 electron
No, they would not bond with each other
Li wants to give 1 electron
Yes, they would bond with each other
F wants to give 1 electron
F wants to take 1 electron

Li wants to give 1 electron and fluorine wants to take 1 electron. also they will bond with each other!!

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
