    The document discusses the alkali metals, which include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. These metals are highly reactive and occur in Group 1 of the periodic table. The document provides information on the discovery date, common sources, and some major uses for each of the alkali metals.

    3 Lithium (Li) ■ from lithus stone. The lightest of all
    metals. Lithium carbonate theraphy
    has become standard treatment for
    manic depression.
    ■
    ■ DISCOVERY: 1817 by Johann A.
    Arfvedson of Sweden
    ■
    ■ USES: lubricants, Dry cells, Storage
    batteries, Glass & pharmaceuticals
    11 Sodium (Na) ■ From soda and natrium. Sodium is a
    necessary constituent of plant and
    animal tissue. Pure sodium is
    poisonous and is very corrosive.
    ■
    ■ DISCOVERY: 1807 by Sir
    Humphry Davy of Britain
    ■
    ■ USES: Salt, Soda, Glass, Metal
    purifier, Soap, Paper, Textile
    ■ From potash and kalium. A constituent
    19 Potassium (K) of all plant and animal tissue as well
    as of fertile soil. It is the lightest
    known metal.
    ■
    ■ DISCOVERY: 1807 by Sir Humphry
    Davy of Britain.
    ■
    ■ USES: Fertilizers, Heat transfer agent,
    “Strike anywhere” matches,
    fireworks, Explosives
    37 Rubidium (Rb) ■ From rubidius or red. After cesium,
    it is the most active of the alkali
    metals; and the most widely
    distributed element.
    ■
    ■ DISCOVERY: 1860 by Robert
    Wilhelm Bunsen and Gustav
    Robert Kirchhoff of Germany
    ■
    ■ USES: Photocell component,
    Thermo electric generator, Gas
    scavenger in vacuum
    55 Cesium (Cs) ■ From caesius or skyblue. A soft gold
    colored metal that is quickly attacked
    by air and reacts explosively in
    water. It is the softest metal since it is
    liquid at room temperature.
    ■
    ■ DISCOVERY: 1860 by Bunsen &
    Kirchhoff of Germany
    ■
    ■ USES: Photoelectric cells, “Getter” in
    electron tubes, Atomic clocks
    87 Francium (Fr) ■ From France. The heaviest of the alkali
    metals and the most electropositive
    element. Francium has never actually been
    seen since it is a short-lived product of the
    decay of actinium.
    ■
    ■ DISCOVERY: 1939 by Marguerite Perey of
    France
    ■
    ■ USES: Francium has no uses. Having a half
    life of only 2 minutes. Has obtained by the
    neutron bombardment of radium in a
    nuclear reactor.
