=====Chemical Properties=====
: '''Alkali Metals''' are all highly [[Reactivity|reactive]] and will [[OxidisationOxidation|oxidise]] quickly in the presence of [[Oxygen]].
: '''Alkali Metals''' all [[Chemical Reaction|react]] strongly with [[water]] to produce [[Metal Hydroxide|metal hydroxides]] and [[Hydrogen]] [[gas]].
: '''Alkali Metals''' all produce strong [[alkali]]s.
: '''Alkali Metals''' are all [[solid]] at [[Room Temperature|room temperature]] but have a low [[Melting Point|melting point]] compared to other [[metal]]s.
: '''Alkali Metals''' are soft and can be easily cut.
: '''Alkali Metals''' all appear shiny (before they [[oxidisationoxidation|oxidise]]).
