Some Alkali Metals Subgroup Trends
Group I elements
- Silvery in colour, tarnish rapidly in air
- Are kept immersed in paraffin oil or in evacuated sealed ampoules
- Soft, have low boiling and melting points
- Low density
- Body-centred cubic structures are more spacy

Melting points of Groups I and II elements is a function of its metallic bonds strength.The stronger the bond, the higher is the melting point
Metallic bond strength depends on:
(1)ionic radius,
(2)no. of valence electrons
Down the group, the size of cations increases
Þpolarizing power decreases
Þcompound with large anion become more stable
∴ thermal stability of carbonates & hydroxides of Group I metals increases down the group
