The document describes the reactions of lithium, sodium, and potassium with oxygen, water, and halogens. Lithium reacts fast with oxygen and burns with a bright red flame, floats in water releasing hydrogen gas. Sodium also reacts fast with oxygen and more vigorously releases hydrogen gas in water. Potassium quickly tarnishes when cut, reacts so vigorously with water that the produced hydrogen gas ignites and burns with a lilac flame.
