  1. Alkali Metals By: Ben, Mitch, Timm

  2. Location • Far left • First group

  3. Valence Electrons • Every element has 1

  4. Elements • Li- Lithium • Na- Sodium • K- Potassium • Rb- Rubidium • Cs- Cesium • Fr- Francium

  5. Physical properties • Elements StateFlames • Li- Solid Red • Na- Solid Yellow • K- Solid Lilac • Rb- Solid Red • Cs- Solid Blue • Fr- Solid n/a

  6. Reactivity • Water-forms bases • Halogens( Series of nonmetal elements)- to form salts • Oxygen- to form oxides(is a chemical compound that contains at least one oxygen atom and one other element in its chemical formula). • Acids- to form Hydrogen gas

  7. Common Uses • Na- Table salt, Sodium Chloride. Used in many companies. • Li- Heat transfer, Synthesizing organic compounds. Useful for batteries • K- Fertilizer, heat transfer. • Rb- very thin batteries, some medication. Fireworks.

  8. Common Uses Cont. • Cs- Oil industry, cancer treatment, nuclear power • Fr- Unstable and rare. No common uses.
