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 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.
