The Group 1 , Alkali metals.

They all react with oxygen and water to form the hydroxide and release hydrogen.

The reactivity increases down the Group . Lithium gently effervesces. Sodium 'pop's and sparks. Potassium ignites with a bang. Rubidium is moderately explosive. Caesium is violently explosive. Francium is extremely violently explosive. Francium is not reacted in an open laboratory because it is also radio-active.

All the metals in Group 1 are kept under oil; no oxygen present).

Alkali metals are the most reactive metals (group 1). Alkaline earth metals are in a close second (group 2) As you go along, the elements become less reactive. The least reactive group is the noble gases (group 18).

Alkali metals, group 1 (Sodium through Cesium),

P.S. 'Group' is better than 'Family'
