Alkali metals lose one electron when it becomes an ion.
A metal in the alkali metal family has one valence electron where as a metal in boron family has three valence electrons. It is easy to remove one valence electrons than three. So alkali metals will be more reactive.
The alkali metal with 76 fewer electrons than francium is lithium. Francium has 87 electrons, so lithium, which has 3 electrons, has 76 fewer electrons than francium.
alkaline earth metals and alkali metals have 2 and 1 electrons in their outer most shell and are not tightly bound to nucleus so they are ready to lose their outer most electrons to form mono and divalent cations.
they all have a differnet number of electrons, but all have a charge of 1-
Cesium tends to lose electrons rather than gain them. As an alkali metal, cesium typically forms a +1 cation by losing its single valence electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
This alkali metal is lithium (Li).
because it has the most number of electrons in the alkali metal group

No, it does not.

Francium is an alkali metal that will lend electrons in an ionic compound.
One
They all have one electron in their valency shell.
All alkali earth metals have 2 valence electrons.

Metal atoms are more likely to form ions by losing electrons, as they typically have few valence electrons in their outer shell. By losing electrons, metals can achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas.
