I assume you mean alkali metals. They are soft, have relatively low densities, conduct electricity, react violently with air and water, are malleable (can be hammered into saheets) and ductile (can be drawn into wires).

Alkaline earth metals are lightweight, brittle, moderately conductive metals. They are strong reducing agents.
