Why are alkali metals found in many common substances but rarely found in pure form?

Alkali Metals are rarely found in pure form, and if they are they are normally stored under oil, because they react with water and water vapor in the air very violently. They explode if placed in water because they have one electron in their outer energy level and they want to give it away so badly. But if they are bonded with other elements, particularly non-metals, they lose that high reactivity.
