Alkali Metals:
the alkali metals are found in the first group of the periodic table, Alkali metals are very reactive metals and they are not freely in their nature, alkali metals have one electron in their outermost shell. therefore alkali metals are ready to loose that one electron for bonding with other elements, alkali metals are good conductor of electricity and heat. they are soft in nature than other metals.The Alkali Metals are:lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium cesium, francium

What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive and soft.
What is the difference between the colours produced by alkali metals and calcium?
calcium is an alkaline earth metal thus has different characteristics to the alkali metals.
Can Hydrogen make bond with alkali metals?
No, hydrogen is a nonmetal. It is grouped with the alkali metals because it has a similar outer shell electron configuration as they do. Hydrogen is something of an oddball among elements. It is rather unique, but share some characteristics with both the halogens and the alkali metals. When the periodic table is divided into groups (noble gasses, halogens, alkali metals, etc.) hydrogen is usually put in its own group.
Which properties of alkali metals unusual metals?
Alkali metal forms Alkali while metals form bases.
What are more reactive alkali metals or alkline earth metals?
alkali metals
What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive and soft.
What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?
They are highly- reactive metals
What is the difference between the colours produced by alkali metals and calcium?
calcium is an alkaline earth metal thus has different characteristics to the alkali metals.
What important characteristics do the alkali metals and earth metals have in common?
They all have at least one electron.
Is a metal an acid or alkali?
its definitley not acid Some metals are called alkali metals or alkaline earth metals because they often form alkaline compounds; but metals are not alkali or acids.
Can Hydrogen make bond with alkali metals?
No, hydrogen is a nonmetal. It is grouped with the alkali metals because it has a similar outer shell electron configuration as they do. Hydrogen is something of an oddball among elements. It is rather unique, but share some characteristics with both the halogens and the alkali metals. When the periodic table is divided into groups (noble gasses, halogens, alkali metals, etc.) hydrogen is usually put in its own group.
Which properties of alkali metals unusual metals?

How chemically active are alkali metals?
Alkali metals are the most reactive metals.
What are more reactive alkali metals or alkline earth metals?
alkali metals
How are alkali metals different any from other metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
What are the elements on lift side of periodic table?
alkali metals, alkali earth metals, and some transition metals.. that is on the left side if you divide the periodic table in two.
How do alkali metals react with other alkali metals?
They don't
