Alkali metals are the first family of the periodic table to the left side. Alkaline Earth metals are the second family of the periodic table to the left. Alkali metals are more volatile (reactive) than Alkaline Earth metals, and are too volatile to keep in their natural state unmonitored.

if you mean alkaline earth metals then magnesium and calcium but if you mean alkali metals then lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium are them but none occur naturally in nature due to only having one electron causing them to be extremely unstable
