A systematic study of binary alkali silicate glass of composition 0.3M2O.O7SiO2 was performed by means of molecular dynamics with BKS potential. The role of alkali ions from Li up to Cs in glass is described with the help of PDF, coordination numbers, Q-motifs, ring statistics and Si-O-Si angle distributions.
