What are properties of alkali metals?
highly reactive, tarnish easily, low melting points, soft, low density, some have weak radiation also it is very flammable in water
What are characteristics about the alkaline metal family?
shiny, soft metals with low melting points, react rapidly with water, and are not found in nature
What property describes the elements in group 1?
The most common property between all group 1 elements is the formation of +1 charge when participating in a chemical bond. Other properties include excellent thermal conductivity, extremely soft (maybe even liquid), luster, and relatively low melting points for a metal
What element of the periodic table is soft and shiny and malleable?
There are very many elements which are shiny and reflective.
Is sodium very reactive with water?
Sodium is indeed very reactive with water because it is an Alkali metal. These metals have low melting points. Like the sodium, they are soft enough to be cut with a knife. They are highly reactive.
All metals are hard and have high melting points?
No, the alkali metals are pretty soft and the metals cesium, gallium, and mercury have very low melting points.
Are there any metals that are soft and shiny?
Yes
What group of elements are soft silver-white and shiny metals?
These are the alkali metals.
2 properties of alkali metals?
1. Alkali metals are soft and highly reactive. 2. They have low melting points and densities.
What are the Properties of an alkali liquid?
The alkali metals have the following properties in common:they have low melting and boiling points compared to most other metals.they are very soft and can be cut easily with a knife.they have low densities (lithium, sodium and potassium will float on water)

Are alkali metals shiny gray solids soft?
yes if you cut inside it you will see all of this descriptions
Why alkali metals have low melting and boiling points?
All alkali metals are found to be very soft and they have low melting and boiling points. Alkali metals have low binding energy in the metal crystal lattice as these atoms have only one valence electron. This results in the formation of metallic bonds which are not very strong. Also, alkali metals melting and boiling points decrease down the group.
