In the Periodic Table they are found in Group (I).
They are lithium, sodium , potassium , rubidium, caesium and francium.
They become explosive on going down the group. Also francium is also radio-active.
None of these metals are found 'native' on Earth. They all ionise and are found in other chemicals/substance on Earth. .e.g SALT Sodium chloride.
Group 1, the Alkali Metals, which are extremely reactive.
The alkali metals are more reactive.
The alkali metals in group 1 are the most reactive.
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Highly reactive metals with one valence electron are known as Alkali metals.

Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
Yes, alkali metals are highly reactive because they have one valence electron that they readily donate to achieve a stable electron configuration. This makes them extremely reactive with water and air, which results in explosive reactions.

Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
Alkali metals are powerful reducing agents, they give up one electron easily. They are extremely reactive.
The most reactive group of metals in the periodic table is Group 1, the alkali metals. These metals are highly reactive due to their low ionization energies, which means they readily lose their outermost electron to form positive ions. This reactivity increases as you move down the group due to the decreasing ionization energies.
