In chemistry, an alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal element. Some authors also define an alkali as abase that dissolves in water. A solution of a soluble base has a pH greater than 7. The adjective alkaline is commonly used in English as a synonym for base, especially for soluble bases. This broad use of the term is likely to have come about because alkalis were the first bases known to obey the Arrhenius definition of a base and are still among the more common bases.

They belong to the first group of the periodic table having valency of + 1.
These are generally soft metals and some of these readily react with water and air with a burning flame.
Therefore they are generally stored in kerosene.
Hope this helps you,
