Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the Periodic Table. They will form ions with a 1+ charge. If you meant alkaline earth, they are found in group 2, and will form ions with a 2+ charge.

What is the charge on an alkali metal ion?
the charge on all alkali metal ions is 1 +
What charge does an ion of an alkali metal have?
Your Alkali Metals are those elements on the leftmost column of the periodic table (except for Hydrogen). Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium, Cesium, Francium. You can remember them as those that form the Alkali bases, Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) among others. In Pure Metallic form, they would have a neutral charge. However, they are frequently found in ionic form where they loose an electron to form a positive ion with a +1 charge. Li+ Na+ K+ etc.
How many electrons do alkali metal family have?
they all have a differnet number of electrons, but all have a charge of 1-
How do you know if an ionic compound between an alkali metal with a nonmetal is done correctly?
Since all alkali metals form a 1+ ion, the number of alkali metal atoms in the formula should be equal to the charge on the negative ion.
How many valence electrons does an alkali metal have?
All alkali metals have 1 valence electron that is it loses when forming compound, giving it a charge of +1
What is the charge on an alkali metal ion?
the charge on all alkali metal ions is 1 +
What is the charge on alkaline-earth metal ions?
All alkaline earth metal ions have a charge of +2
Do all alkaline metals form ions with a positive charge?
Yes, all metal ions are positive.
What are the top ways of identifying metal ions?
They have a positive charge. All metals form positive ions.

What is the reaction between acids and alkali called - a what reaction?
It's a single replacement or a reduction-oxidation reaction. Both mean the same thing. An alkali metal has a initial charge of zero and then switches places with the hydrogen molecule, to form a salt and hHydrogen gas.Example: Na + HCl -> NaCl + H.Where hydrogen ions go from a 1+ charge to a zero charge (all elements in standard state have zero charge) and sodium metal goes from a zero charge to a 1+.This reaction is called a neutralization reaction.
How many valence electrons does an alkali metal have?
All alkali metals have 1 valence electron that is it loses when forming compound, giving it a charge of +1
What is the Difference between a bases and alkali?
Alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal element. Alkalis are best known for being bases that dissolve in water. (Most common form is hydroxide.)A base is most commonly thought of as an aqueous substance that can accept H+ ions.A soluble base is also often referred to as an alkali if hydroxide ions (OH−) are involved."All alkali are bases but not all bases are alkali"

It dissociates into potassium ions and fluoride ions KF--> K+ + F-
