They are highly reactive.
Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, are highly reactive and tend to combine quickly with other elements in nature to form compounds. This is because they have only one valence electron, which they easily lose to achieve a stable electron configuration. Therefore, it is rare to find pure alkali metals in their elemental form in nature.
Alkali metals can be found in Group 1 of the periodic table. These elements include lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). They are highly reactive and are typically found in nature as compounds rather than in their pure form.
The alkali metals, found in group 1 transition metals in groups 3 through 12
alkali is made out of a metal called zhphonie it is a very strong metal and is a substance to the earth
Alkali is a group of elements, not just one specific elements. Alkali metals are Group 1A elements starting with Hydrogen then lithium and so on.
The atomic radii of members of the Group 1A (Alkali metals), increases down the group. Therefore Francium has the largest atomic radius of the Alkali metals. However Fr has no stable isotopes, thus is not naturally occurring. So Cs-133 is the largest you can find.
The group on the very left of the periodic table.
Alkali earth metals are less reactive than alkali metals but they still react readily with oxygen and water, forming oxides and hydroxides. They are stored under oil or inert gases to prevent them from reacting with moisture in the air.
Alkali metals: Group 1 in the periodic table Alkaline earth metals: Group 2 Halogens: Group 17 Noble Gases: Group 18 You can easily find them if you look at a periodic table.
Sodium can be found in group 1 and it is listed in the periodic table as part of the alkali metal group.
