Sort: Oldest first
 
  • One of a group of metallic elements comprising sodium, potassium, lithium, rubidium, and cesium. They are all univalent, and are distinguished by the strong basic properties of the oxids and the solubility of their salts in water. The radicle ammonium, (NH4), is often included in this group on account of the similarity of its reactions and the isomorphism of its salts with those of the metals of this class.
