group 1 metals have only one electron in the outermost shell.it gives out electrons easily as it is highly electropositive and called as highly reactive metals..water has the polarity..due to this property the OH ions in water becomes slightly electro-negative and attracts the electro positive metal thus forming hydroxides..and also due to this reaction hydrogen gas is formed along with the formation of hydroxides..
