Want this question answered?
Alkalis are metals, specifically the IA group. So no, they won't react with metals.
yes, they are less reactive than group 1 and 2. These metals hardly react with air or water at all whereas Group 1 and 2 metals tarnish quickly and react with water
They're metals that form alkaline compounds when they react with water.
Very reactive metals - from group 1 and 2 of the periodic table - can react with water.
The alkali metals in group 1 react by losing one electron.
Except for Hydrogen, which is a non-metal, group one is composed of alkali metals. They react very quickly.

All alkali metals (group 1) and most earth-alkali metals (group 2)
group one and two metals react with oxygen in the air as well as moisture to from metal oxides
Very reactive metals - from group 1 and 2 of the periodic table - can react with water.
The alkali metals in group 1 react by losing one electron.
For example acids.
Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).
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.
