yes lithium belongs to alkali metal family group 1A of the Periodic Table.....it has similar properties to those metals that have one valence electron in their outer orbit that are sodium Na potassium k rubidium Rb cesium Ce and francium Fr.......
they reason they are called alkaline in nature is that they are soluble in water and the name alkali comes from Arabic who discovered sodium and potassium in plant ashes thus the word alkali means plant ashes.....but a better version is that those elements that are soluble in water.
don't confuse them with alkaline eath metals Group 2A of the periodic table.
hydogen is not considered to be in group 1a but has been given separte place in the periodic table because it has similar properties with Group 1a,4a and 7a.
H
group 1 group 2 group 3 group 4 group 5 group 6 group 7 group 8
you can ask the details from your class teacher that why it has similar properties with 4a and 7a since it has one electron in its valence orbit shouldn't it be placed in group 1a according to electronic configuration ?
