When alkali metals react with ammonia, they form metal amides and hydrogen gas. The reaction is highly exothermic, releasing a significant amount of heat. The metal amides are ionic compounds, and the overall reaction is generally more vigorous than the corresponding reactions with water.
Alkali metals react with ammonia liquid to form metal amides and ammoniated electrons. These ammoniated electrons are responsible for absorbing energy from visible light, leading to a deep blue color in the solution. This phenomenon is known as charge transfer complexes.
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.
Yes
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)

Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).

All alkali metals and alkali earth metals below calcium react vigorously with acids.
something sciency
Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
