Alkali metals react faster than alkaline earth metals due to their lower ionization energy and higher reactivity. Alkali metals readily lose their outermost electron to form a +1 cation, making them highly reactive with water and air. Alkaline earth metals, on the other hand, are less reactive as they have higher ionization energies and require more energy to lose their outer electron.
