Q3
Alkali and alkaline earth metals (s-block elements) generally occur in minerals and natural water in combined state as halides, sulphates, carbonates, nitrates, silicates etc. The metals are highly electropositive and their compounds are important constituents of biological fluids such as blood.
Alkali metals are typically soft, show low densities, and have low melting and boiling points. This is because they have:
