The alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.
<h3>What are the properties of alkali metals?</h3>
The alkali metals have the high thermal and electrical conductivity. It has high lustre, ductility, and malleability as compared to other materials. Each alkali metal atom has one electron in its outermost shell which make more reactive.
So we can conclude that the alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.

Answer : The final temperature of the mixture is 
Explanation :
In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.
where,
= specific heat of iron = 
= specific heat of water = 
= mass of iron = 39.9 g
= mass of water = 
= final temperature of mixture = ?
= initial temperature of iron = 
= initial temperature of water = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is
Answer:
The correct answer is B. Since the two metals have the same mass, but the specific heat capacity of iron is much greater than that of gold, the final temperature of the two metals will be closer to 498 K than to 298 K
Explanation:
Iron is hotter and gold is colder, therefore, according to laws of thermodynamics, iron will lose heat to gold until they are at the same temperature.
The specific heat capacity of iron(0.449) is over three times that of gold(0.128). Since masses are equal, this means that each time iron's temperature drops by one degree, the energy released it releases makes gold's temperature increase by more than 3 degrees. So gold's temperature will be climbing much faster than iron's is falling. Meaning they will meet closer to the initial temperature of iron than that of gold
