Give general electronic configuration of alkali metals and give electr

1.	Give general electronic configuration of alkali metals and give electronic configuration of each elements of alkali metals.
Answer» Solution :All the alkali metals have one valence electron, `ns^(1)`outside the NOBLE gas core. The looscly held s-electron in the outermost valence shell of these elements MAKES them the most electropositive metals. They readily LOSE electron to give monovalent `M^(+)`ions. Hence they are never FOUND in free STATE in nature.
