Hydrogen, it is one of the most difficult elements to classify: it can form +1 ions like the alkali metals, it can form -1 ions like the halogens, it is a nonmetal.

What is like a alkali metal but has 1 electron?
Hydrogen.
What has only 1 electron and behaves like an alkali?
There is no metal like you describe in your question. Hydrogen is in Group 1, but is not an alkali metal. It is a gas at standard temperature. It does rarely behave like an alkali metal, and it does have only one electron. Hydrogen is in Group 1 primarily because of its electron configuration, which is 1s1. All of the alkali metals also have one electron in their outermost s orbital.
What does alkali metal atom look like?
If you could see an alkali metal atom, it would have a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, and an electron cloud containing electrons. In the electron cloud, the highest energy level would contain only one electron.
In what way is hydrogen like the alkali metals?
Hydrogen has a single valence electron, just like the alkali metals. Unlike them, however, hydrogen prefers to covalently bond instead of forming an ionic bond.
Is hydrogen a alkali metal or alkaline metal?
Alkali metals can be substituted for hydrogen. Any of them. They include lithim (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr). The alkali metals are in group one of the periodic table of the elements, and are all stacked up in the column below hydrogen. All the alkali metals are all organized with a lone electron in their outer most shell, or valence shell (in the neutral atom) and all of the alkali metals would like to loan out that electron to anything that would like to borrow it. It turns out that the reactivity of alkali metals are least to greatest from the top of the column to the bottom. This is because of electron screening.

What element has not really an alkali metal but since you have only 1 electron you behave like them?
Hydrogen
What is the element that is really not an alkali metal with 1 electron but act like one?
You think probable to hydrogen.

What element behaves like an alkali metal but isn't and has 1 electron?
Hydrogen
What is the name of the element that is not really an alkali metal since it has only one electron behaves like them?
Hydrogen, of course. On some periodic tables you still see it in the alkali position and heading the halogen column to.
What does alkali metal atom look like?
If you could see an alkali metal atom, it would have a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, and an electron cloud containing electrons. In the electron cloud, the highest energy level would contain only one electron.
Does hydrogen behave like an alkali metal?
Yes, chemical similarities exist between hydrogen and alkali metals; also the electron configuration has a parallel.
In what way is hydrogen like the alkali metals?
Hydrogen has a single valence electron, just like the alkali metals. Unlike them, however, hydrogen prefers to covalently bond instead of forming an ionic bond.
Which element has only 1 electron and behaves like a alkali metal?
The element Hydrogen (H) has only 1 electron. When it loses it, it becomes the Ion H+.

How many electrons are there in the third shell of Na?
Na 1s2 2s2 2p6 3sLooks like the one valance electron. This is a Group one metal, an alkali metal.
