Hence, when a groups 1 element reacts with oxygen, the compound formed must have the general formula M2O. The reactivity of group 1 metal increases down the group hence Cs is the most reactive group 1 element. Lithium displays a slightly different chemistry from other group 1 elements because of its small size.
