Why are alkali metals not found in nature?
(N/A) Alkali metals include $Li$,$Na$,$K$,$Rb$,$Cs$,and $Fr$. These metals have only one electron in their valence shell,which they lose easily due to their low ionization energies. Consequently,alkali metals are highly reactive and are not found in nature in their elemental state.
