WHAT DOES ALKALI METAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Alkali metal

The alkali metals are a group in the periodic table consisting of the chemical elements lithium, sodium, [note 1] potassium, [note 2] rubidium, caesium, [note 3] and francium.[4] This group lies in the s-block of the periodic table[5] as all alkali metals have their outermost electron in an s-orbital.[6][7][8] The alkali metals provide the best example of group trends in properties in the periodic table,[6] with elements exhibiting well-characterized homologous behaviour.[6] The alkali metals have very similar properties: they are all shiny, soft, highly reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure[6] and readily lose their outermost electron to form cations with charge +1.[9]:28 They can all be cut easily with a knife due to their softness, exposing a shiny surface that tarnishes rapidly in air due to oxidation.[6] Because of their high reactivity, they must be stored under oil to prevent reaction with air,[10] and are found naturally only in salts and never as the free element.

Definition of alkali metal in the English dictionary
