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.

See explanation
Explanation:
The ability of a gas to function as a green house gas depends on its ability to absorb infra red rays. In turn, the absorption of infrared red rays depends on whether or not the molecule is IR active.
The triatomic molecules such as methane and water are IR active. Only IR active molecules can lead to green house effect.
Note that for a molecular vibrational mode to be IR active, the dipole moment of the molecule is changed as the vibration occurs .
When connectors are marked with a combination of metals,
it can be used as a connector of one of the metals or an alloy of the two
metals. So in this case, since the marking is “Al – Cu” where Al is aluminium and
Cu is copper, therefore the answer is:
<span>Yes, it is suitable for use with copper, copper-clad
aluminum, and aluminum conductors.</span>
