Basic character depends upon electron loosing tendency of an element which increases down the group,SO basic character of alkali metals increases down the group
When alkali metals react with water they produce an alkali (basic) solution. No because they form basic oxides and they neutralise acids
Alkali metals are highly reactive and tend to form ionic compounds by easily losing their outermost electron. They are soft, shiny, and have low melting points. In reactions, alkali metals typically produce hydrogen gas and form basic solutions.
Alkali metals are from Group 1 of the Periodic table and have a single electron in their outer shell. Alkaline-Earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table and have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
Yes they are!even though they are very soft, reactive and not as widely used as much as transition metals eg. in construction they still have other metallic properties, such as metallic bonding.Yes all alkali metals are metals.
Group I elements are called alkali metals as they are generally basic in nature
Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
Basic oxides
The alkali metals are found in period 1 of the periodic table. They are soft,silver-coloured metals that react violently with water to form basic solutions. The most reactive alkali metals are cesium and francium.

Group I elements are called alkali metals as they are generally basic in nature
Group 1A elements are active metals. They are so active that they are never found free in nature. They are usually stored in oil. They form compounds with oxygen that dissolve in water to give solutions that are alkaline or caustic. They are called alkali metals, or simply the alkalis.
The group name of column 1 is alkali metals. They are metallic and basic in nature.
Potassium cyanide is a chemical compound that contains the alkali metal potassium, but it is not considered an alkali itself. Alkalis are typically hydroxides of alkali metals like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, which are known for their basic properties and ability to neutralize acids.
