What are the properties of alkali metals? Explain with examples.
Answers
Answer:
the alkali metals are a group of chemical elements in the periodic table with the following physical and chemical properties:
shiny.
soft.
silvery.
highly reactive at standard temperature and pressure.
readily lose their outermost electron to form cations with a charge of +1.
The alkali metals are the six metals of Group 1 in the Periodic Table – lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, ceasium (cesium), and francium. Only lithium, sodium and potassium are safe enough to keep in the school lab. Rubidium, ceasium and francium are violently reactive – and francium is radioactive.

Explanation:
Alkali metals are silvery, soft, and not very dense. They can easily be cut with a butter knife, and cesium can even melt in the palm of your hand. They have low melting points and are incredibly reactive--so reactive that they must be stored in special solutions or containers to prevent an unintended reaction.
