There is 1 electron in the outer shell of a group one alkali metal. Just the same as there would be two electrons in the outer shell of a group 2 element.
One. They lose it to form a singly charged positive ion.
Yes , It has four
alkali metals have 1 electron in there outer valence shell. I remember that alkali and alkaline go with columns 1 & 2 of the periodic table alphabetically. Alkali then alkaline. Alkali metals have 1 valence electron. Alkaline metals have 2 valence electrons.
Alkali metal have only one electron on the external shell; the are very reactive and form cations.
If you are referring to the alkali metals of Group 1, such as sodium and potassium, the answer is no - in fact with a valence of 1 they are short 7 electrons in their outer level, which is why they react so readily (and violently) with the halogens, chlorine, fluorine and so on.

1 valence electron in alkali metals.
There are two electrons on the outer shell which means they are pretty reactive. (make bonding easier)

Alkali metals have one electron more than the noble gases.
Seven , outer shell electrons or valence electrons increase as you move from left to right on the periodic table not including the transition metals which vary, they start with 1 valence in the alkali earth metals , and finish with 8 valence electrons on the noble gasses (group 18)
alkali solids have one each in their valence shells
