Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Group 1A (or IA) of the periodic table are the alkali metals: hydrogen (H), lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).

Detailed explanation-2: -The alkali metals are six chemical elements in Group 1, the leftmost column in the periodic table. They are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).

Detailed explanation-3: -Caesium. Caesium or cesium is the chemical element with the symbol Cs and atomic number 55. It is a soft, silvery-gold alkali metal with a melting point of 28 °C (82 °F), which makes it one of only five elemental metals that are liquid at (or near) room temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -The alkaline earth metals are six chemical elements in group 2 of the periodic table. They are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra).

Detailed explanation-5: -They are shiny, soft, metals. They are very reactive. They all have one valence electron in the outermost shell which they seek to lose in order to have a full outer shell. They are soft enough to be cut with a knife. When exposed to air, they tarnish due to oxidation. More items
