There are 118 elements known at present. There are similarities as well as differences are the properties of these elements on the basis of their, all the element can be divided three types: Metal; ...

The elements in group 1 are known as alkali metals. They react rapidly (very fast) with water, producing an alkaline solution and hydrogen gas. The metals become more reactive as you go down the group ...

An alkali is derived from the Arabic word 'qali' means ' from the ashes'. As ashes are mixed with water used for cleaning products and are made of alkali materials. It is a basic hydroxide or ionic ...

Listen to the full series on BBC Sounds. The table shows the melting points of five alkali metals. Use this information to describe how melting point changes in group 1.

Researchers at AIST have created a method to introduce alkali metals into the graphene interlayers, working with researchers from Osaka University, Tokyo Polytechnic University, Kyushu University, and ...
