Group 1 is known as the 'Alkali Metals'

They are in descending order of the group ; lithium, sodium, potassium rubidium, caesium, and francium.

They become increasing reactive with water on descending the group , to the point of explosion. Francium is not found in the lab, because it is also radio-active.

The Group 2 are known as the 'Alkali Earth Metals'. Because they are frequently found in rocks e.g. Calcium and magnesium as Calcium Carbonayte and magnesium carbonate.
