Today’s Learning Outcomes
• (a) describe lithium, sodium and potassium in Group I (the
alkali metals) as a collection of relatively soft, low-density
metals showing a trend in melting point and in their
reaction with water
Introduction of Alkali Metals
• The very first group of Periodic Table is called Alkali
Metals
• Why are they called the alkali metals? The alkali metals are
so named because when they react with water they form
alkalies. Alkalies are hydroxide compounds of
these elements, such as sodium hydroxide and potassium
hydroxide
