Potassium and sodium have a lonely electron in the outermost path and are therefore very reactive and occur in the form of salts and alkalis. This group of alkali metals also includes lithium and the rarer elements Rubidium, Caesium and Francium.

Magnesium and calcium have two electrons left and are called alkaline earth metals because their compounds are less soluble and therefore more earthy. These include beryllium, strontium, barium and radium.
