Answer:

Alkali Metals are the name given to Group 1 elements. They are known as s-block elements because the s subshell is home to their highest energy electrons. As one moves along group 1, the atomic radius grows as a result of each element's additional electron shell. The initial ionization energy drops as you move along the group.

Step-by-step explanation:
