    The document discusses the properties and uses of alkali metals, which are elements in group 1 of the periodic table. Alkali metals have properties including high conductivity, luster, ductility, and malleability. They have one electron in their outer shell. Specific alkali metals like lithium, sodium, and potassium are used in ceramics, luster for metals, maintaining blood pressure and acidity levels in the body, and as working fluids in vapor turbines. Alkali metals are important for their low ionization energy and ability to conduct electricity due to mobile valence electrons.

    Properties of Alkali Metals

    Alkali metals have metal-like properties such as high thermal and electrical
    conductivity, lustre, ductility, and malleability. Alkali metals have many
    properties and some examples are Alkali metals have one single electron in
    it's outermost shell. Alkali metals are silvery, soft and not dense, They are soft
    enough to be cut by a knife. Except for Hydrogen the elements in group 1 are
    all Alkali metals.
    Uses of Alkali Metals

    Lithium is used in heat resistive ceramics and glasses.


    Sodium is used as luster in metals.
    Potassium maintains blood pressure and acidity levels in our body.
    Rubidium is used as working fluid in vapor turbines.
    Importance of Alkali Metals

    Alkali metals are important because they have low ionization energy, Hence
    they show metallic character. They are good conductors of electricity due to
    the presence of mobile valance electrons.
