There are 14 rare earth chemical elements in the actinide series which are between actinium (atomic #89) and nobelium (atomic #102) on the Periodic Table. Lawrencium (atomic #103) in the periodic table is a transition metal, but according to IUPAC it is a actinide.

Lawrencium (atomic #103) is grouped with Transition Metals.

The alkali metals are found in Group 1 of the Periodic Table and they are highly reactive and usually found with other elements in nature, rarely by themselves. These are silvery colored, soft, low density metals.

Hydrogen is also found in group 1, even though it is classified as a Other Nonmetal. It rarely has the characteristics of an alkali metal, but when it is under extremely high pressure it acts like one.
