Group 1 elements are called?
Correct answer: B. alkali metals
- A. alkaline earth metals
- B. alkali metals
- C. chalcogens
- D. noble metals
Explanation
Group 1 elements include the alkali metals, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr. The alkali metals are all soft, shiny and metallic when cut. They react easily with water, have low melting points and densities, and are good conductors of electricity. They all have one valence electron that they lose easily to form ions.

About s-Block and p-Block Elements
The s and p blocks are studied through their valence-shell configurations, periodic trends and characteristic chemical properties. Work covers the reactions of Group I and Group II elements, the behaviour of Group IV elements, and how atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity and metallic character change across periods and down groups.
