    The document discusses properties of alkali metals lithium, sodium, and potassium. When alkali metals react with water, they produce hydrogen gas and hydroxides. Lithium is the most reactive, followed by sodium then potassium. Alkali metals are not found naturally because they are very reactive and combine with other elements. The reactivity decreases down the group as the atoms get larger. Group 1 elements are called alkali metals because they produce alkaline hydroxides when combined with water.
