the fact that the atoms have only 1 electron orbitting the outer level. it is very easy for them to lose this one electron, hence, a quick, easy reaction.
Yes, the Alkali metals are highly reactive. Use the related question (linked below) to learn why this is so.
Highly reactive metals with one valence electron are known as Alkali metals.
Highly reactive
because to be stable they need 8 atoms in outer energy level halogens need one so are highly reactive. alkali need 7 so are highly reactive( not as highly as halogens)

Yes, alkali metals are highly reactive because they have one valence electron that they readily donate to achieve a stable electron configuration. This makes them extremely reactive with water and air, which results in explosive reactions.
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
Group 1, the Alkali Metals, which are extremely reactive.
no, the alkali metals make up the first period and all of them are highly reactive.
Highly reactive metals with one valence electron are known as Alkali metals.
highly reactive, tarnish easily, low melting points, soft, low density, some have weak radiation also it is very flammable in water
highly reactive with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals
