The key to this answer is the phrase "valence electrons". Alkali metals are in the first column of the Periodic Table and include elements such as Lithium, Sodium and Potassium. These elements typically lose ONE electron when they participate in a chemical reaction, therefore they have ONE valence electron.

Would a metal in the boron family or alkali metal be more reactive?
A metal in the alkali metal family has one valence electron where as a metal in boron family has three valence electrons. It is easy to remove one valence electrons than three. So alkali metals will be more reactive.
Which elements is the carbon family have 4 valence electrons?
All of the members of the carbon family have 4 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons does each member of the boron family have?
how many valence electrons does family 1 have
When all group IIA lose their valence electrons the remaining electrons configurations are the same as for what family of elements?
Group 8 or 18: the Noble gases
How are valence electrons calculated?
You can look at the periodic table of the elements and determine the number of valence electrons in that element. The Alkali metals have one The Alkaline earth metals have two The Transition metals have one to three, it depends The Boron family have three The Carbon family have four The Nitrogen family have five The Oxygen family have six The Halogen family have seven The Noble gases have eight

The Halogen family elements have how many valence electrons?
Halogen family members, or elements in group 17, have 7 valence electrons.
What is a family of elements in group 2 with 2 valence electrons?
Alkali-earth metals
What will the alkali metals family do with its valence electrons during a compound formation?
Alkali metals lose one electron in chemical reactions.
When all group IIA lose their valence electrons the remaining electrons configurations are the same as for what family of elements?
Group 8 or 18: the Noble gases
How many valence electrons does each member of the boron family have?

How many valence electrons does neon family have?
the neon family (the noble gases) have 8 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons does a member of the oxygen family have?
All have six valence electrons.
