Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge{\underline{\color{teal}{\textsf{\textbf{~~~Answer}}}}}$

They are soft metals, possess low melting and boiling points, have the largest atomic radii in their corresponding periods and are good conductors of heat and electricity. They have low values of ionisation energies and are hence highly electropositive. They are very reactive and readily form ionic compounds.
