Hlw friend!
It is because alkali metal have 1 electron in their outermost shell so it will donate this one electron to become stable and thus it forms 1 ion.
In the same way,
Alkali earth metal have 2 electrons in their outermost shell so it will donate these two electrons to become stable and thus forming 2 ions.
Hope it helped u!
