Alkali Metals
Properties, Examples, Relationship
What do lithium batteries, table salt and firework rockets have in common?
All of them contain compounds of alkali metals. Alkali metals are members of the first group of the periodic table of the elements. The metals in this group are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium.
The word “alkali“ is derived from the Arab “al-qalya“ for potash, the colloquial term for potassium carbonate.
In this film we want to take a closer look at the representatives of this family of elements, compare their properties, investigate the chemical behaviour and see where we encounter their chemical compounds in everyday life.
Alkali metals and alkaline solutions – also called basic solutions – are noxious for the skin. Therefore, additional protective gloves should be worn – apart from the obligatory protective goggles required in laboratory work.

Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century. Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
Tolerance
“Tolerance means being generous and kind to other people and helping them, too.”
