Lithium, sodium, potassium, in order of lighter to heavier
Most alkali metals are found in solid state at room temperature, except for the lightest alkali metal, lithium, which is a soft metal. Alkali metals are highly reactive and easily lose their outermost electron to form positive ions.
Lithium is a metal. In fact, it is an alkali metal (the metals found in group I are alkali metals).
True. Although lithium is an alkali metal it is quite different from the other alkali metals. In fact it can generally behave more like an alkaline earth metal, such as Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca) Strontium (Sr) and Barium (Ba). One of the major characteristics of the alkali metals is their low ionization energy, which is why lithium can easily be present in its ionic form of Li+. However, lithium posses the highest ionization energy of the alkali metals

No. In fact lithium, one of the alkali metals, is the lightest metal. In terms of molecular mass the heaviest metals are the actinides. In terms of density the densest metals are osmium and iridium.

The lightest known metal in the world is lithium. It is an alkali metal with a low atomic mass and density, making it extremely light compared to other metals.
Lithium, (Li) element three and the least reactive of the alkali metals group.

Alkali metals are the most reactive metals.
alkali metals
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
No, alkali metals are not the only earth metals. Earth metals include both alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. Alkaline earth metals are a group of elements in the periodic table that are chemically similar to, but less reactive than, alkali metals. Examples of alkaline earth metals include magnesium, calcium, and barium.

They don't
Alkali earth metals are named after their oxides, alkaline earth.
