Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hydrogen is a very reactive gas, and the alkali metals are even more reactive. In fact, they are the most reactive metals and, along with the elements in group 17, are the most reactive of all elements. The reactivity of alkali metals increases from the top to the bottom of the group, so lithium (Li) is the least reactive alkali metal and francium (Fr) is the most reactive. Because alkali metals are so reactive, they are found in nature only in combination with other elements. They often combine with group 17 elements, which are very "eager" to gain an electron. At the URL below, you can watch a video that shows just how reactive the alkali metals are. Q: Because alkali metals are so reactive, they are found in nature only in ________ with other elements? Choices: - isolation - cooperation - competition - combination A:
Answer:
combination
