About this document

Overview of S-Block Elements by Runjhun is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document summarizes some key physical and chemical properties of alkali metals. Physically, their atomic and ionic radii increase with atomic number while density decreases down the group. Ionization energy is lower than corresponding alkali metals. Chemically, they react with non-metals like oxygen and halogens to form ionic compounds, and with water to form alkaline hydroxides and hydrogen gas. Their general electronic configuration is [noble gas] ns1.
