When an alkali metal is involved in a chemical reaction with a nonmetal, what charge will its atoms most likely form? 1- 2+ 1+ 2-

  The charge that  alkali metal   form  when they  involve in a chemical reaction with non metals  is  1+

 Explanation

Metals react   by   losing  electron to form a positively charged   ion.

 Alkali metal   has   1  electron  in outermost   sub shell  which  is donated  when they react with non metals  to form  ions with a charge of 1+.

For example sodium (Na)  metal with [Ne] 3S¹   electron configuration   donate  the  1 electron   in outermost subshell (3S) to form Na⁺ ion.

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.
