Compounds, or minerals. The most common is the sodium chloride found in sea water. They are too reactive to be found as free elements.
They are usually found as ionic compounds, usually known as salts.
Alkali metals do not occur free in nature. They are reactive hence the facts that they are always found as compoounds.
Alkali metals are very reactive and doesn't occur freely in nature.
Compounds
compound.
No- they are too reactive and thus always found in componds and mixtures
group 1 and group 17 are the most reactive groups
Group 1A elements are active metals. They are so active that they are never found free in nature. They are usually stored in oil. They form compounds with oxygen that dissolve in water to give solutions that are alkaline or caustic. They are called alkali metals, or simply the alkalis.
There are a lot more than five. For example, all the alkali and alkaline earth metals are not found naturally in pure form but occur only in compounds. It's actually unusual for a metal to exist in pure form in nature; most of them occur only in compounds.
Depends on how easy it is to oxidize the metal, outside of gold and meteoric iron, almost all metals are found in an oxidized state.

Metals in the first group are Alkali Metals. Their group number is one. They are reactive. They don't occur freely in nature. They are soft, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity. Cesium and Francium are the most reactive metals in this group. Also, these metals explode when exposed to water.
Not possible, they are so reactive that they will combine instantly with nearly anything they contact.
The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. Some other cool facts are: --Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity --The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. --Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.

Alkali metals are in the first column of the periodic table, but do not include Hydrogen. The alkali metal family is composed of Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium. An example of an alkali metal is Sodium (Na).
Alkali metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, francium.
