Question

What are alkali metals?

Thanks

Answer 1

The alkali metals are a group (column) in the periodic table consisting of the chemical elements lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K),rubidium (Rb),caesium (Cs),and francium (Fr). This group lies in the s-block of the periodic table of elements as all alkali metals have their outermost electron in an s-orbital.
