Bcoz metals have free electrons and they allow electricity to flow between the metal atoms.

Heyaa!!
friend,
The alkali metals are all shiny, soft, high reactive metals at STP(standard temperature and pressure) and readily lose their outermost electron to form cation with charge +1.
these alkali metals have only one electron in their outer shell. Therefore, they are ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with the other elements.As compared with all the metals, The alkali metals are malleable, ductile and are good conductors of heat and electricity...
And another most interesting fact about these alkali metals is that they can explode if they are exposed to water.
examples of alkali metals are as follows:
sodium, potassium, lithium, caesium, rubidium, francium and more importantly hydrogen.

sorry to point out, but hydrogen can also gain one electron to complete duplet, so its in group 1 but is not an alkali metal
