Group 1 metals, also known as alkali metals, are easy to cut due to their relatively low hardness and low melting points. They have a single valence electron that is loosely held, resulting in weaker metallic bonding and a softer structure. This makes them malleable and allows them to be easily sliced with a knife. Additionally, their low density contributes to their ease of manipulation.
Group 1 Metals
High luster, reacts with air on contact so must be stored under kerosene, Soft metals that can easily be cut with a knife.
Metals are on the left side in periodic table. They are mainly present in group-1,2,13. Group-1 is alkali metals and group-2 is alkaline earth metals.Group 1 contains alkaline metals. Group 2 contains alkaline earth metals. And d block also contains metals.
The group one metals or alkalis metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table are very reactive metals. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell. Therefore, they are ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. As with all metals, the alkali metals are shiny and easy to cut and are good conductors of heat and electricity. The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. Caesium and francium are the most reactive elements in this group.
Group 1 (for metals) and group 17 (for non metals).
Group 1 Metals
Sodium belongs to the group 1 of the periodic table, known as the alkali metals group.
High luster, reacts with air on contact so must be stored under kerosene, Soft metals that can easily be cut with a knife.
Alkali group 1 metals have one valence electron, which makes them highly reactive. They have low melting and boiling points and are soft metals that can be easily cut with a knife. These metals also tend to form ionic compounds due to their tendency to lose their single valence electron.

Group 1 or alkali metals (+1 oxidation number). Group 2 or alkaline earth metals (+2 oxidation number).
The group one metals or alkalis metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table are very reactive metals. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell. Therefore, they are ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. As with all metals, the alkali metals are shiny and easy to cut and are good conductors of heat and electricity. The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. Caesium and francium are the most reactive elements in this group.
Group 1 (for metals) and group 17 (for non metals).
Group 1-12 (all metals). Group 13-16 contains metals, metalloids as well as non-metals.
Group 1 or alkali metals.
Group 1 and Group 2 metals conduct electricity because they have only one or two electrons in their outermost energy level, making it easy for these electrons to move and carry an electric current. The presence of these loosely held electrons allows them to easily flow in response to an electric field.
