When alkali metals react with water they produce an alkali (basic) solution.
No because they form basic oxides and they neutralise acids
The five named groups from the periodic table are the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble gases, and transition metals. Each group has unique properties and characteristics based on their electron configurations.

Why. Alkali. Metals are kept. In kerosene
Alkali earth metals are named after their oxides, alkaline earth.
No. Metals are the best conductors because they have the least resistance. That's why they are used in batteries. Alkaline cells are named so because they use alkali metals in their compositions.
Alkaline metals are named so because they react with water to form alkaline (basic) solutions. This is due to the formation of hydroxide ions when alkaline metals react with water, increasing the pH of the resulting solution.

transition elements are not as reactive as alkali metals or alkaline earth metals.. this is so because of the valence electronic configurations. alkali metals have ns1 configurations which have easy chances of loosing electrons so as to gain the stable state. Attaining a stable state is the law of nature. hence to attain it they have to redily donate electron. this is not so easily possible for the transition elements..
Alkali metals are the most reactive 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.
Yes, the Alkali metals are highly reactive. Use the related question (linked below) to learn why this is so.
They don't
The most reactive group of metals in the periodic table is Group 1, the alkali metals. These metals are highly reactive due to their low ionization energies, which means they readily lose their outermost electron to form positive ions. This reactivity increases as you move down the group due to the decreasing ionization energies.
