Group 1 - The Alkali Metals | The Periodic Table

The video tutorial explores alkali metals in group 1 of the periodic table, focusing on their properties, reactivity trends, and practical experiments with lithium, sodium, and potassium. It highlights how these metals react with water to form alkaline solutions, with increasing softness and reactivity down the group. The tutorial also discusses the density, melting, and boiling point trends of alkali metals.
