The general properties of Group 1 alkali metals are:
1. They form cations.
2. They are highly reactive.
3. They have a charge of +1.
4. They form ionic compounds.
5. When their oxides or hydroxides are reacted in water, they form alkalis i.e. bases.
6. They are usually soft in nature.
7. They have low densities.
Explanation:
A cation is a positively charged ion.
An anion is a negatively charged ion.
- In a cation, electrons are usually lost
- In an anion, electrons are usually gained.
In an atom, the balance between the number of protons and electrons determine whether they become an anion or cation.
Protons are positively charged particles.
Electrons are negatively charged
When an atom gains electrons, the number of electrons becomes more than that of protons. This leaves a net negative charge on the atom and it makes an anion.
When an atom loses electrons, the number of protons becomes more than that of electrons. This leaves a net positive charge on the atom and makes a cation.

Explanation:
An element is the smallest part of a substance that is capable of independent existence. An element cannot be broken down into any other substance. Krypton, Bismuth etc are all elements.
A compound is a combination of two or more elements which are chemically combined together e.g NH3, CO2 etc.
A mixture is any combination of substances that are not chemically combined together. E.g Pizza, milk etc
Answer:
a. Thermal energy in transit due to spatial temperature difference .
Explanation:
Heat transfer -
Heat transfer is the exchange of the thermal energy or heat in between any physical systems .
It is the flow of energy or any form of energy from one system to another .
Heat transfer is divided into various mechanism , one of which is the thermal .
The thermal energy is the transit due to the spacial temperature difference .
