The alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.
<h3>What are the properties of alkali metals?</h3>
The alkali metals have the high thermal and electrical conductivity. It has high lustre, ductility, and malleability as compared to other materials. Each alkali metal atom has one electron in its outermost shell which make more reactive.
So we can conclude that the alkali metals can't exist alone in nature because of incomplete outermost shell of alkali metals.

Answer:
It is already balanced equation
Answer: SO₂ + H₂O → HSO₃ ⁻ + H⁺
Justification:
1) Ionization means formation of ions.
2) Ions are species that are not neutral, they are charged, in virtue of having less or more electrons than protons.
3) Ionization may happen in different environments.
4) Ionic compunds, like Mg(OH)₂ dissociate into ions (ionize) in water. That is the example shown in the fourth option:
Mg(OH)₂ → Mg ²⁺ + 2OH⁻
5) How much a ionic compound dissociates in water (ionize) depends on the Ksp (product solubility constant) which measures the concentrations of the ions that can be in the solution.
6) The Ksp for Mg(OH)₂ is very low, meaning that it will slightly ionize.
7) SO₂ + H₂O forms H₂SO₄, which is a strong acid, meaning that it will ionize fully in water, into the ions HSO₃ ⁻ and H⁺, so the third option is a good example of ionization.
