2. Template:Periodic table (group names) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Periodic_table...

   a Group 1 is composed of hydrogen (H) and the alkali metals. Elements of the group have one s-electron in the outer electron shell. Hydrogen is not considered to be an alkali metal as it is not a metal, though it is more analogous to them than any other group. This makes the group somewhat exceptional.

3. Alkali metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_metal

   The alkali metals are among the most electropositive elements on the periodic table and thus tend to bond ionically to the most electronegative elements on the periodic table, the halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine), forming salts known as the alkali metal halides. The reaction is very vigorous and can sometimes result ...

4. Group (periodic table) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(periodic_table)

   In the periodic table of the elements, each column is a group. In chemistry, a group (also known as a family) [1] is a column of elements in the periodic table of the chemical elements. There are 18 numbered groups in the periodic table; the 14 f-block columns, between groups 2 and 3, are not numbered.

5. File:The Periodic Table of the Elements in Pictures.pdf

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Periodic_Table_of...

   English: This pictorial periodic table is colorful, boring, and packed with information. In addition to the element's name, symbol, and atomic number, each element box has a drawing of one of the element's main human uses or natural occurrences. The table is color-coded to show the chemical groupings.

6. Periodic table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table

   Periodic table of the chemical elements showing the most or more commonly named sets of elements (in periodic tables), and a traditional dividing line between metals and nonmetals. The f-block actually fits between groups 2 and 3 ; it is usually shown at the foot of the table to save horizontal space.

7. List of chemical elements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_elements

   Like the periodic table, the list below organizes the elements by the number of protons in their atoms; it can also be organized by other properties, such as atomic weight, density, and electronegativity. For more detailed information about the origins of element names, see List of chemical element name etymologies.

8. Potassium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium

   It was first isolated from potash, the ashes of plants, from which its name derives. In the periodic table, potassium is one of the alkali metals, all of which have a single valence electron in the outer electron shell, which is easily removed to create an ion with a positive charge (which combines with anions to form salts). In nature ...

9. Period (periodic table) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_(periodic_table)

   Sodium (Na) is an alkali metal. It is present in Earth's oceans in large quantities in the form of sodium chloride (table salt). Magnesium (Mg) is an alkaline earth metal. Magnesium ions are found in chlorophyll. Aluminium (Al) is a post-transition metal. It is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust. Silicon (Si) is a metalloid.
