Alkali metals have a general outermost electronic configuration of
ns^(1)

Alkali earth metals have a general outermost electronic configuration of
ns^(2)

The +1 ion of the alkali metals has a stable octet configuration of the nearest noble gas as the outermost ns electron is lost.

The +2 ion of the alkaline earth metals has a stable configuration of the nearest noble gas as the two electrons in the outermost ns shell are lost.
