- Group 1
- They are called alkali metals
- They have similar properties to other metals.
- malleable
- Conduct electricity
- Other Phyiscal Properties
- low melting points
- soft
- easily cut
- very reactive
- They are easily oxidised and burn brightly in air
- These atoms have one electron in their outer shell
- When they react with non-metals, the outer electron is transferred to the non-metal
- Going down Group 1 the atoms get larger
- This explains the trend in reactivity
- Caesium is highly reactive in water and therefore dangerous to do in school
