Describe two differences between transition elements and alkali metals?

Explanation:

On the periodic table, we can find a wide range of elements from alkali metals, to the alkali earth metals, transition metals and through to the noble gases.

The alkali metals are found on the first group in the periodic table and they are group of metals. Also, the transition elements are also a group of metals.

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.
