Alkali metal ions (M+ have no unpaired electrons and thus they are diamagnetic and colourless. ... Since they have only one electron in valence subshell, therefore, they lose easily, owing to their low ionisation energies. Therefore, alkali metals are highly reactive chemically and do not exist in the free or native state.
