•The boiling points and melting points increase inthe number of carbon atoms.
•Alkynes are soluble in polar solvents such as water
•Have incomplete combustion
the alkali metals (Li,Na,K,Rb,Cs,Fr) are highly reactive and are usually stored in mineral oil or kerosene.The alkali metals show a number of trends when moving down the group - for instance: decreasing electronegativity, increasing reactivity, and decreasing melting and boiling point. Their densities generally increase, with the notable exception that potassium is less dense than sodium, and the possible exception of francium being less dense than caesium. (The highly radioactive element francium only exists in microscopic quantities.)
high pH, have OH- ions. that's all i think
1.they undergo combustion reaction.
2.they do not decolorize bromine water.
3.they react with halogens forming haloalkanes.
Yes
Alkali metal forms Alkali while metals form bases.
Yes they are!even though they are very soft, reactive and not as widely used as much as transition metals eg. in construction they still have other metallic properties, such as metallic bonding.Yes all alkali metals are metals.
Malleable, ductile, good conductors.
False!
Alkali metals are powerful reducing agents, they give up one electron easily. They are extremely reactive.

they are harder than alkali metals
yes, all metals conduct. It is one of their defining properties.
highly reactive with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals
Low melting and boiling point
According to the scientific definition of a metal yes, Alkali metals are considered metals, but it is important to understand that alkali metals have different properties from regular metals. The alkali metals exhibit many of the physical properties common to metals, although their densities are lower than those of other metals. Alkali metals have one electron in their outer shell, which is loosely bound. This gives them the largest atomic radii of the elements in their respective periods. Their low ionization energies result in their metallic properties and high reactivities. An alkali metal can easily lose its valence electron to form the univalent cation. Alkali metals have low electronegativities. They react readily with nonmetals, particularly halogens.
Malleable, ductile, good conductors.
False!
No, in comparison to the rest of the metals, lithium (as an alkali metal) would be called a soft metal. All the alkali metals could be cut with a knife, but still retain properties of metals.
Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.
