ABSTRACT: By simple arguments, it is shown how alkaline types of atoms can be seen in dense molecular clouds depending on the average temperature of such regions of the Universe. This paper predicts infrared lines of such atoms that could be seen in molecular clouds. The theory is developed in the first part and the predicted experimental results will follow. It results that the alkaline atoms modelized using the short-range polarization potential are found in quantum states n* > 2.
