Atomic-volume of alkali metals increases down the group ,But increase in mass dominates over increase in volume ,since density=(mass)/(volume) ,density increases down the group

Why is the density of Cs highest in the group 1?

The density of cesium (Cs) is the highest among the alkali metals in Group 1 due to its relatively large atomic mass and atomic volume. As you move down the group, the atomic size increases, leading to a greater mass while the increase in volume is not proportionate, resulting in higher density. Additionally, the metallic bonding in cesium contributes to its compact structure, further increasing its density compared to other lighter alkali metals.

Why do alkali's get softer down the group 1?

Alkali metals get softer down Group 1 due to an increase in atomic size and weaker metallic bonding. As you move down the group, the atomic radius increases, leading to a decrease in the strength of metallic bonding and making the metals softer.

What is the name of the family of elements in Group 1A?

They're called the alkali metals, and are comprised of lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr). Group 1A also includes hydrogen (H), though that isn't an alkali metal.
