(A similar relationship exists in Group 1, which includes hydrogen and the alkali metals. All have the same valence configuration, but hydrogen is never included as a member of the alkali metals family.)
neither. it is a noble gas
elements in the halogen family react easily with other elements whose atoms can give up electrons.alkali metals lose one electron they are left with 0 valence electrons and they become more chemically stable
It depends on what they are reacting with.
Most alkali metals are found in solid state at room temperature, except for the lightest alkali metal, lithium, which is a soft metal. Alkali metals are highly reactive and easily lose their outermost electron to form positive ions.
No; the noble gas family doesn't contain any metals in it, it only has gases. Also it contains all of the least reactive elements. The most reactive metals are in the alkali metal family, group 1, lithoium , sodium, poatssium etc..

It is located, in the periodic table, with the metalloids. However, it is a transition metal.
Alkali metals have one electron more than the noble gases.

When alkali earth metals react with water, they produce metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas. The reaction is generally violent and releases heat.

They burn in atmospheric air, such metals are stored in oil under dry nitrogen gas.

Alkali gases only have 1 electron needing to be removed to reach a stable noble gas configuration. Alkaline earths have two electrons. Alkali metals thus have the lower ionization energy of the two groups.
Transition metals such as copper, silver, and gold can form ions with a noble gas electron configuration. This occurs when they lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the nearest noble gas.
Yes. Explosively. They will react to produce a metal hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and a bunch of heat. Here's the equation for sodium (Na, #11) reacting with water: 2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2 The reaction is violently exothermic to the point where the hydrogen gas ignites and explodes, which itself is a separate reaction: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
