~ 5.3 - chem ~
~ Group 1 - Alkali Metals ~
Forms ions with a +1 charge (reacts loses 1 electron)
Contains typically metallic properties (Hydrogen is in this group since it has 1 outer shell
electron = very reactive; not a metal however)
Contains similar chemical behaviours to one another.
Not found in their pure form naturally (compounds instead) and are extremely reactive.
~ Metallic Properties ~
Malleable
Shiny/Lustrous
Conducts electricity
Solid and room temperature (except mercury)
Ductile
Conducts heat
