Which answer choice best explains why atoms of carbon-14 (C-14) are unstable? A-Atoms of C-14 have too many negatively charged electrons and too few positively charged protons.
B-Atoms of C-14 have too many positively charged protons and too few negatively charged electrons.
C-There are 2 more protons than neutrons in the nucleus.
D-There are 2 more neutrons than protons in the nucleus.

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.
