The key to this answer is the phrase "valence electrons". Alkali metals are in the first column of the Periodic Table and include elements such as Lithium, Sodium and Potassium. These elements typically lose ONE electron when they participate in a chemical reaction, therefore they have ONE valence electron.

Would a metal in the boron family or alkali metal be more reactive?

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.
