The alkali metals are a group of metallic elements which are present in the first group of the periodic table. In other words, they are present in group 1 of the periodic table. These elements have one electron in their valence shell, the reason why they are placed in group 1.
They ionize by losing one electron to achieve the configuration of the nearest Noble gas or inert gas. Because they need to offset only one electron in their outermost shell, they are very chemically reactive and hence rarely occur in the free state.
Examples of elements in this group include lithium, potassium and sodium. They each have one electron only in their outermost shells.
the Germany scientist Alfred Wagner describes fold mountains that are found in The world are the same also geological similarity that occur between this continent are the same for example the rock that are found in brazil are the same of that of south africa.
The reaction: 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g), can be interpreted as: a. 2 moles of hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of water.
