The first group of elements are named for the alkaline (basic) nature of their oxides and basic (metal hydroxides) solutions for the elements in water.
All group 1A elements are more reactive.
the low densities of alkali metals results from them having the high molar masses largest atomic radii.
the alkali metals have low melting and boiling points high metallic bonding leads to low value for delta H which decrease dwon the group.
the alkali metal have the low ionisation energies.
Group1A salts have high lattice energy.
for a given anion lattice enrgies increase down the group due to increase in atomic radii.
Li, Be metals
B metalloid
C, N, O , F, Ne non metals.
