Alkali metals, found in Group 1 of the Periodic Table, include lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). These metals are characterized by having a single electron in their outermost shell, which makes them highly reactive, particularly with water and halogens. They are typically soft, have low densities, and exhibit a metallic luster. Due to their reactivity, alkali metals are usually stored under oil or in inert atmospheres to prevent reactions with moisture and air.
