Dmitri Mendeleev did not think gold and silver were alkali metals. He classified gold and silver as transition metals in his periodic table based on their chemical and physical properties. Alkali metals are a different group of elements.
Yes they are!even though they are very soft, reactive and not as widely used as much as transition metals eg. in construction they still have other metallic properties, such as metallic bonding.Yes all alkali metals are metals.
Potassium and sodium are both metals. They belong to the alkali metal group of the periodic table, which is known for its highly reactive properties.
Yes, alkali metals are group 1 elements because they belong to the first group of the periodic table and share similar chemical properties such as forming hydroxides when reacting with water.
These chemical elements are nonmetals.

they are harder than alkali metals
Yes, alkali metals are indeed metals. They belong to group 1 of the periodic table and include elements such as lithium, sodium, and potassium. They are highly reactive and have characteristics typical of metals, such as shiny appearance and good conductivity of heat and electricity.
They are light, soft, silvery metals.
yes, all metals conduct. It is one of their defining properties.
highly reactive with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals
Low melting and boiling point

Potassium and sodium are both metals. They belong to the alkali metal group of the periodic table, which is known for its highly reactive properties.
Lithium, sodium potassium, caesium, rubidium and francium are all alkali metals; consequently they share many chemical and physical properties.
Alkali metals can be cut with a knife because they are soft and have low melting points. Iron cannot be cut easily with a knife because it is a strong and hard metal. The differences in properties between alkali metals and iron make alkali metals easier to cut with a knife.
No, in comparison to the rest of the metals, lithium (as an alkali metal) would be called a soft metal. All the alkali metals could be cut with a knife, but still retain properties of metals.
