Answer:
- They are highly reactive metals
- They have low electro negativity
- They have low ionization energy
- They don't exist alone in nature
- They have low densities
Explanation:
Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.
Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.
Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.
Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.
Due to this reason, they also have low densities.
The carbon cycle involves the circulation of carbon dioxide (CO2<span>) from the atmosphere into plants and other living organisms; the transfer of carbon from these organisms into other temporary storage pools, living or nonliving, containing organic and </span>inorganic<span> carbon compounds; and the return of CO</span>2<span> to the atmosphere </span>

Answer:
The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.
Explanation:
The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.
Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.
AMU:
Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.
This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale
relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu
relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu
relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu
relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
