They combine directly to form salts. E.g. lithium + fluorine -- > lithium fluoride
if i am not mistaken..
You would get an chemical form of salt or you can say alkali metal salt.
Alkali metals reacts violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen; alkali earth metals react with water but no so violent.Other metals doesn't generally react with water at room temperature.
When alkali metals react with oxygen, they form metal oxides. This reaction is often highly exothermic and can produce heat and light. The resulting metal oxides produced will vary depending on the specific alkali metal involved.
The metal of copper can react with oxygen. This is a metal that is very reactive when ti is combined with different substances.
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.

Potassium is an alkali metal !

A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.

Alkalis and metals do not usually react.
Magneseum. an Alkali earth metal
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.
Actually, alkali metals do react with water, producing hydrogen gas and a metal hydroxide. This reaction is often very vigorous and can even result in the metal igniting.
All alkali metals and alkali earth metals below calcium react vigorously with acids.
