Alkali Metals in the Periodic Table of Elements.Thanks!
This Site Might Help You. RE: what is metal hydroxide? what will happpen if i heat it.. and can metal carbonates and metal hydroxides be mixed together ?
Soluble metal hydroxides are also known as alkalis and they include the common sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide solutions. They should be stable to heat. Metal carbonates and metal hydroxides can be added together and this will be considered as a carbonate-alkali reaction. A salt, carbon dioxide gas and water will be produced by this reaction (:

Metal hydroxide is any metal element which has formed a compound with the hydroxide anion (OH-). Depending on the oxidation state of the metal, you will need a corresponding number of hydroxide anions to form a the compound. (ex. NaOH, Mg(OH)2) Heating metal hydroxides will cause a dehydration of the compound and result in the oxide (usually anhydrous) of the metal. Yes, metal carbonates and metal hydroxides (except the very caustic) are GENERALLY compatible, but this varies depending on what metals are involved, and what exactly you do while you mix them and how you mix them. (You should be doing this in solution.)
