Metals in the first group are Alkali Metals.

Their group number is one.

They are reactive.

They don't occur freely in nature.

They are soft, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity.

Cesium and Francium are the most reactive metals in this group.

Also, these metals explode when exposed to water.
