It depends on what they are reacting with.
yes you are true. we call them alkali metals.
Alkali metals, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, are highly reactive and can react violently with water or air. This can pose safety hazards and make them unsuitable for use in voltaic cells where stability and controlled reactions are required. Instead, non-reactive metals like zinc and copper are commonly used in voltaic cells.
Alkali metals generally form cations by losing their outermost electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Alkali Metals belong to group 1 of periodic table. They have one electron in last or valence shell and are highly electropositive and have low value of Ionisation enthalpy. So the removal of last electron to form a cation(positively charged ion) is very easy and needs less energy as compared to other elements. As a result of this Alkali metals are highly reactive and readily form ionic compounds. Due to this they react with other elements or compounds and form ionic compound. Hence, they are found in their compounds and not in free state.
Alkali metals are known for there ability to destroy blood plankta inside your blood stream (been 3 recorded deaths so far). Also transition metals are known for there low electronegativity and there ability to produce amphiprotic substances. Just so many awesome reasons why you cant pass transition metals.

All atoms want to do is make their valence shell full. In alkali metals they have all of their shells completely full except one valence electron. The alkali metals REALLY want to get rid of that electron, so they will react with many elements/compounds to get rid of that electron. In alkaline earth metals they have all of their shells completely full except for two valence electrons. They also want to get rid of those electrons but the alkaline earth metals are not as desperate to do so as the alkali earth metals which make the alkaline much less reactive than the alkali metals.

no, the alkali metals make up the first period and all of them are highly reactive.
The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. Some other cool facts are: --Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity --The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. --Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.
Alkali metals can be cut with a knife because they are soft and have low melting points. Iron cannot be cut easily with a knife because it is a strong and hard metal. The differences in properties between alkali metals and iron make alkali metals easier to cut with a knife.
The reactive group of all metals consists of elements located in Group 1 and Group 2 of the periodic table, known as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, respectively. These metals are highly reactive due to their tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions.
it helps make the colors
The alkali metals. Lithium is the first member of the alkali metal family. The alkali metals are the elements that make up Group 1 (IA) of the periodic table.
Usually they react to form a slat and water.
Acids can react with metals to produce hydrogen gas, not oxygen. When acids react with metals, they displace hydrogen gas from the acid.
