Because all alkali meals have same no of electrons (only one) in their outermost shell
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
Alkali metal forms Alkali while metals form bases.

The alkali earth metals act in a similar but slightly less reactive way to alkali metals
Alkali metals are good conductors of electricity, though they are not as conductive as transition metals like copper or silver. They are also fairly good thermal conductors.
Yes, chemical similarities exist between hydrogen and alkali metals; also the electron configuration has a parallel.
Alkali metals are all of the elements on the far left hand side of the Periodic Table with the exception of hydrogen. They are all highly reactive metals that also react vigorously with water.

they are alkali earth metals.
Alkali metals are the most reactive metals.

Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
They don't
Alkali earth metals are named after their oxides, alkaline earth.
there are alkali metals and alkali earth metals but there is no such thing as an element called alkali...
The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. Some other cool facts are: --Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity --The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. --Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.
