They have only 1 and 2 electrons in their outermost shell. Hence it is very easy for them to donate these electrons and acquire a stable structure with completely filled innermost shell. As these loose electrons, they form cations.

⚫alkali and alkaline metals have the ability to easily form cations.
⚫ they have only 1 or 2 valence electrons in the valence shells respectively.
⚫ hence to form cations they can easily donate their Valence Electrons to another atom( usually to a noble gas) for the formation of cation and also to become stable.
⚫ Hence by donating the valence electrons they can easily from cations.
