Properties and reactions of Alkali Metals in Group 1 of the Periodic Table

The video describes the properties and reactions of alkaline metals found in Group one of the periodic table. It explains the electronic configurations of elements such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, and how they react with different substances such as oxygen, halogens, and water to form compounds and ions. The video also explores the trend of increasing reactivity as we move down the group, and the unique physical properties of alkaline metals such as softness, low melting boiling points, and low density. The video concludes by highlighting the similarities and differences between alkaline metals and traditional metals such as iron and cobalt.
