11. Alkali metal carboxylates react with dimethylcarbamoyl chloride forming the corresponding dimethylamides.12. Interestingly, different from other alkali metals , the amount of Na intercalation is very small. 13. Owing to these contrasting bond strengths, these materials engage in intercalation by alkali metals . 14. More so than the other alkali metals , caesium forms numerous binary compounds with oxygen. 15. It is a strong alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. 16. When heated with nitrates of alkali metals , metallic lead oxidizes to form acetate solutions. 17. Significant differences between alkali metals and excited rare gases exist in their molecular symmetry. 18. Whereas the other alkali metals are silver-white, caesium metal has a distinctly golden hue. 19. Their spectra are analogous to those of the alkali metals . 20. It is the lithium salt of nitric acid ( an alkali metal nitrate ).
