Any chemists wanna include something about water and alkali metals? I know that it's a common demo in high school classes to put sodium in water and watch it blow. I just don't remember the specifics. Surely someone knows them. --User:comrade009
What does 'excepting' mean in this article? It vjckhgis not the proper word.
Main Entry: 1ex·cept Pronunciation: ik-'sept Variant(s): also ex·cept·ing /-'sep-ti[ng]/ Function: preposition
- with the exclusion or exception of <daily except Sundays>
From www.m-w.com
I think it should be 'including' and I will change it as such.
- I think that Alkali should be redirected to this page. Any objections?
I'd actually say "alkali" should be redirected to base (chemistry), as alkali more correctly and commonly refers to that. Alkali metals are just metals that form alkalis. --ES2 20:28, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

does any1 know why alkali metals & halogens are really active?
[edit] remove the words "not at" in the first sentence of para 2
The article says: "The alkali metals are not at all highly reactive..."
Shouldn't it be: "The alkali metals are all highly reactive..."? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richard M. Childs (talk • contribs) 17:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] alkali metals
What is the relationship between the melting point and the atomic radius of alkali metals. and what is the reason for this?
- Alkali metals have a large atomic radius, which causes the melting point of Alkali metals to be lower than other elements because the atoms are less tightly bonded to each other by London Dispersion Forces and other transient bonds. Picture two planets - a huge, but not very dense planet and identical planet rotating around each other will not be as strongly attracted to as two extremely dense bodies orbiting around a common center.

[edit] "Homosexual behavior"?
"The alkali metals provide one of the best examples of group trends in properties in the periodic table, with well characterized homosexual behavior down the group." Looks like trolling to me. I don't know about chemistry; someone else with more knowledge want to fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.229.75.59 (talk) 20:53, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
