Because Si Al and Fe can't exist as ions like other alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
Sea water is an aqueous medium in which only ionic compounds can dissolve. Many ionic compounds like compounds of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals like NaCl and MgCl2 dissolve in sea water and exist as ions in sea water.
Compounds of Silicon Aluminum and Iron are not water soluble. So they can't exist in sea water.
explain why elements Si Al and Fe which are abundant in the earths crust but are...

Problem 1. Assume that Mars formed from chemical elements that were able to freeze out of the cloud of gas around the forming Sun, and that the relative abundances in this frozen-out material was the same as that of solar atmosphere (see belowTable) for Mg, Si, Fe, Na, Al, and Ca. Assume that all elements except perhaps Fe are fully oxidized when they freeze out (as MgO, SiO2, FeO, Na20, Al20s, and CaO). Calculate and tabulate the fractions of the...
Arrange these elements in order of increasing electron affinity: Sr, N, Si, P, Ga, Al.
Fe, Co, and Ni are ferromagnetic, whereas Ru, Ir, and Pt are diamagnetic. Explain why magnetic metals are found only among the 3d and 4f elements. Why are Sc and Ti, which are also 3d elements, diamagnetic?
