the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
Alkali and alkaline earth metals
No. Alkali metals have one valence electrons. Halogens have 7 valence electrons.

Alkali metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions.
Group I (alkali metals) and group II (earth-alkali metals)
The alkali earth elements have TWO valence electrons.
Alkali-earth metals
Alkali and alkaline earth metals
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
For example the chemical elements in the group 1, alkali metals.
Alkali metals (group 1 elements) have one valence electron. Hence have one ionization energy Alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electron. Hence have two ionization energy
