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

The video tutorial covers alkali metals, their position in the periodic table, electronic structures, and reactivity. It explains their reactions with oxygen, halogens, and water, highlighting the formation of metal oxides, halides, and hydroxides. The tutorial also discusses the increasing reactivity of alkali metals down the group due to weaker electron interactions. Finally, it compares the properties of alkali metals with transition metals, noting their softness, low melting points, and low density.
