They react with water. When they lose an electron they form a 1+ charge. They are found combined with other elements in nature.

alkali metals easily lose a valence electron. they form an ion with a 1+ charge. they are also soft enough to dcut with a knife. b/c alkali metals are highly reactive, they are found combined with other elements in nature. they are good conductors of heat and electricity.
