Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. They only have one valence electron. The easiest way for them to complete an octet is to lose an electron. Halogens, on the other hand, have seven valence electrons and gain an electron to complete octet.
