1. Alkali metal peroxides can be used for the synthesis of organic peroxides.2. The alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals all form saline hydrides. 3. All alkali metals melt as a part of the reaction with water. 4. It bears no relation to the reaction between alkali metals and water. 5. Lithium was chosen among other alkali metals because its fluoride is most volatile. 6. Saltiness is the taste of alkali metal ions such as sodium and potassium. 7. Early crossed beam experiments investigated alkali metals such as potassium, rubidium, and cesium. 8. Alkali chlorides can react with dry difluorophosphoric acid to form alkali metal salts. 9. Alkali metal alkoxides react to give the metal alkoxide complexes of varying complexity.10. The alkali metals must be stored under mineral oil or an inert atmosphere.
