Yes, extremely well, They are usually stored in a parafinic oil to prevent reaction with air
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
halogens (group 17) and oxygen family (group 16)
The alkali metals, group 1 of the periodic table, react more and more with O2 as you descend the group. From Na down to Cs, the metals are stored in oil so that they don't form an oxide layer. If you watch videos on Youtube about these metals, you'll see the oxide layer actually form before your eyes.
Alkali metals oxides are the result of these reactions.
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
Yes, both the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals with react with oxygen. The alkali metals will do so rapidly even at room temperature, cesium and rubidium self-ignite on contact to air.
Basic oxides
They don't
alkali metals react violently in cold water
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Many metals including alkali metals, alkali earth metals, chromium, nickel and zinc react with dilute hydrochloric acid.

Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
