Alkali metals are very reactive, not dense or hard metals, monovalent, with low electronegativities, with low melting and boiling points, react violently with water, form strong bases, etc.

What are physical properties for alkali metals?
Alkali metals are powerful reducing agents, they give up one electron easily. They are extremely reactive.
Which element group is made up of shiny solids that are harder than alkali metals?
the alkaline earth metals
What would alkali metal atoms need in order to end up with the same stable electron arrangements as the noble gas?
alkali metals need to loose one electron. alkali earth metals need to loose two
What group is sodium chloride in?
Sodium belongs to the alkali metal family.
Is hydrogen a alkali metal or alkaline metal?
Alkali metals can be substituted for hydrogen. Any of them. They include lithim (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr). The alkali metals are in group one of the periodic table of the elements, and are all stacked up in the column below hydrogen. All the alkali metals are all organized with a lone electron in their outer most shell, or valence shell (in the neutral atom) and all of the alkali metals would like to loan out that electron to anything that would like to borrow it. It turns out that the reactivity of alkali metals are least to greatest from the top of the column to the bottom. This is because of electron screening.

Which set of elements make up the reactive group of all metals?
The alkali metals in column 1 of most wide-form periodic tables.
Are alkali earth metals liquids?
no, the alkali metals make up the first period and all of them are highly reactive.
Lithium is a member of which chemical family?
The alkali metals. Lithium is the first member of the alkali metal family. The alkali metals are the elements that make up Group 1 (IA) of the periodic table.
What name is given to group one elements in the periodic table?
The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. Some other cool facts are: --Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity --The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. --Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.

What percentage of earths crust is made up of alkali earth metals?
5.4%

What is the name of group IIA why does it have this name?
These are called alkali earth metals. Look it up for explanation as to why.
