Question

Why are alkali metals not found in nature ?

Open in App
Solution

\(\text{Alkali Metals} :\) \(Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr\)

Alkali metals consist of only one electron in its valence shell which gets loose easily due to their low ionizing energies. So alkali metals are not found naturally in their elemental state as they are highly reactive.
