NO they are extremely reactive. In water they explode.... Not very stable :p
Since they only have 1 valence electron they want to gain 7 to they achieve a stable 8 e-.
Alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are both groups of elements found in the periodic table. They have similar characteristics in that they are both highly reactive, low-density metals with low melting points. However, alkali metals are located in group 1 of the periodic table, while alkaline earth metals are located in group 2, and they have different chemical properties and reactivities.
The alkali metals are more reactive.
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Highly reactive metals with one valence electron are known as Alkali metals.

Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
The most reactive group of metals in the periodic table is Group 1, the alkali metals. These metals are highly reactive due to their low ionization energies, which means they readily lose their outermost electron to form positive ions. This reactivity increases as you move down the group due to the decreasing ionization energies.
Highly reactive metals with one valence electron are known as Alkali metals.
Alkali metals
Alkali metals in the first group compose the most reactive family of metals.
