The alkali metals are so reactive that they are never found in nature in elemental form. Although some of their ores are abundant, isolating them from their ores is somewhat difficult. For these reasons, the group 1 elements were unknown until the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy first prepared sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by passing an electric current through molten alkalis. (The ashes produced by the combustion of wood are largely composed of potassium and sodium carbonate.) Lithium (Li) was discovered 10 years later when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfwedson was studying the composition of a new Brazilian mineral. Cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) were not discovered until the 1860s, when Robert Bunsen conducted a systematic search for new elements. Known to chemistry students as the inventor of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen’s spectroscopic studies of ores showed sky blue and deep red emission lines that he attributed to two new elements, Cs and Rb, respectively. Francium (Fr) is found in only trace amounts in nature, so our knowledge of its chemistry is limited. All the isotopes of Fr have very short half-lives, in contrast to the other elements in group 1.
Hi , NaCl is basically salt , Na for sodium and Cl for chlorine , these elements make Sodium Chloride .The bond between them is ionic.
Answer is because

<span>Ammonia (NH3) is the combination of Nitrogen and Hydrogen
elements.
=> N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3
Ammonia is basically used as a fertilizer. It is a gas composed of nitrogen and
hydrogen. It is colorless with strong odor. Here are some other uses of Ammonia
aside from fertilizer:
=> used by manufacturer to produce synthetic fiber
=> Used in metallurgical process
Ammonia can be decomposed easily and it produce hydrogen that is very
convenient in welding.
Ammonia’s boiling point is -28.03 F and freezing point is -107.8F.
