The alkali metals react with most non-metals to form hydrides, oxides, sulphides, carbides, phosphides and other compounds. The binary compounds of all alkali metals are ionic with `M^(+)` cations. The alkali metals easily ionize and readily reduce hydrogen ions. They react with ammonia to evolve hydrogen and form blue coloured solutions.
