Hazard Predictions

Due to the highly reactive nature of members of this group, we cannot state with certainty that hazardous reactions between members of this group will not occur. Powerful reducing agents may in fact react with less powerful reducing agents. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.

Lithium is practically insoluble in the other alkali metals (Dickinson, F. 1961. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supplement 2, p. 96-98. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Sodium-potassium alloy is a well-known, stable reducing agent (Dickinson, F. 1961. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supplement 2, p. 548. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
