Alkali Metals

This chemistry quiz runs through 12 questions on the alkali metals, the reactive elements in Group 1 of the periodic table. You will handle a mix of fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and true-or-false, with prompts like "What is the element symbol of sodium?" and "Which alkali metal is the lightest?" Recommended for intermediate students brushing up on the periodic table. A neat fact from the questions explains a common puzzle: potassium's symbol is K because the element was originally called kalium. You will also see just how strongly these metals react with plain water.
