Group 1- the alkali metals
- very reactive so have to be stored in oil to stop them reacting with oxygen in the air.
- reactivity increases as e move down the group
- low density (lithium, sodium and potassium will all float on water)
- very soft so can be cut with a knife
- silvery, shiny look when first cut however, quickly go dull…
