Group one of alkali metals is s-block elements with just one electron in their s-orbital. They are are alkali metals. They are named so because of the alkaline nature of the hydroxides and oxides.
Alkali metals are characterized by one s-electron in the valence shell of their atoms.
Alkali metals have a corresponding [Noble gas] ns1 electronic configuration. They occupy the first column of the periodic table. Alkali elements are:
They have occupied successive periods from first to seven. Francium is a radioactive element with very low half-life.
This makes them the most electropositive elements and due to the same reason, they are not found in the pure state.
