Answer:

A. They must be kept separate from moisture and oxygen

Explanation:

Alkali metals refers to a group of chemical elements in the periodic table. It is the common name given to Group 1 elements (excluding hydrogen). They are generally metallic in nature with physical properties like shining lustre, silvery in appearance etc. Alkali metals include lithium, Pottasium, Sodium, Rubidium etc.

One important chemical property of alkali metals is their high reactivity i.e. they tend to react quickly with other substances. For example, alkali metals react vigorously with water to form hydroxides. They also react with oxygen to form oxides. Due to this highly reactive properties, they are kept or stored away from moisture (water) and oxygen (present in air).

The _______ geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent
IRINA_888 [86]

The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent.

As water molecule hybridisation is sp³ that provides it a electron geometry tetrahedral but due to presence of 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs its molecular geometry is bent.

The hybridisation sp³ makes  electron geometry of a water molecule tetrahedral but the presence of 2 lone pairs makes its  molecular geometry bent
