ex. NaCl - Sodium Chloride

KCl - Potassium Chloride

What are the major characteristics of the metals in group one?

These metals have low density, they are extremely reactive, they are monovalent, the electronegativity is low, they react violent with water etc.Group-1 metals have 1 valence electron. They form mono cations.


What does monovalent ion mean?

A monovalent ion is a cation that only has one valence electron to form an ionic bond with something else. Typically they are the alkali metals--Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium and Francium. Some transition metals can be found to be monovalent ions.


What makes up alkali metals special?

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.

Lithium is only monovalent. Aluminium is trivalent; rarely is bivalent or divalent. Gold is monovalent or trivalent.


Why a lithium atom holds its outer electrons more strongly?

Neither of these metals hold onto their outer electron (singular, as they are alkali metals) very strongly. Relatively speaking though, lithium holds onto its outer-most electron more strongly than Sodium does.
