Alkali metals are good conductors of electricity, though they are not as conductive as transition metals like copper or silver. They are also fairly good thermal conductors.
One electron occupies the highest energy sublevel of alkali metals. Alkali metals have one electron in their outermost energy level, making them highly reactive.
Yes, they are metals- good conductivity is a characteristic of metals that have delocalised electron clouds.
It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.
There is no relation ship. They have the lowest ionization energies.
No, they don't.
Alkali metals are the most reactant of all the metals, and conduct electricity very well
The melting point of alkali metals is low.
yes, all metals conduct. It is one of their defining properties.
Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. They tend to be shiny and conduct thermal energy well.Hope this helps!~ I first I didn't get it either. : )

Alkali metals exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity due to the presence of a single valence electron that can easily flow and carry heat or electricity through the material. This is why alkali metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium are often used in batteries and other electronic applications.

Alkali metals
Hydrogen is grouped with alkali metals because it has similar chemical properties, such as having one electron in its outer shell and being reactive. However, hydrogen is not a true alkali metal as it does not readily form a cation with a 1+ charge like the alkali metals do.
