Alkali metals are very reactive, soft, and have low boiling points.
They are also malleable and ductile, and have low densities.
The order of abundance from most abundant to least abundant is: potassium, sodium, lithium, rubidium, cesium, francium.
Examples of alkali metals are: lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), francium (Fr).
Alkali metals are used in many products such as batteries, drugs, fireworks, and glass.
