they are harder than alkali metals
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
The alkaline earth metals are in the group 2 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
All alkaline earth metals and their salts are reactive and they have a blue-print that identifies them as an alkaline earth metal but metals exist as metals, and salts as salts, with different structural compounds.
Beryllium, magnesium and barium are three more alkaline earth metals.
Alkaline earth metals do not exist , only alkali earth metals
One characteristic property of alkaline earth metals is their tendency to form 2+ cations during chemical reactions. They also have relatively low electronegativity and reactivity compared to alkali metals.
One characteristic property of alkaline earth metals is their tendency to form ionic compounds with a +2 oxidation state. This makes them readily react with nonmetals to form stable compounds. Additionally, alkaline earth metals have relatively low electron affinities, making them less reactive than alkali metals.
they are harder than alkali metals
they all have at least one electron
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
All alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and halogens have a common valence electron configuration: alkali metals have 1 valence electron, alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons, and halogens have 7 valence electrons. This shared electron configuration influences their chemical properties, such as reactivity and bonding tendencies.
* alkaline metals contain the higher melting and also the boiling points. * These metals are present in the earths crust which does not have a basic form. * Alkaline earth metals are distributed in structure which is named as rock. * These metals have density which is low. * Alkaline earth metals have low electron affinity and as wells as low electronegativity. * One of the basic characteristic is, it contains two electrons in their outer shell.
Group 2 elements in the periodic table are the alkaline earth metals.
Thet are all highly reactive. They react with oxygen (air) , water and acids. The further down the Groups, they become more reactive, to the point of explosion. The metals react with oxygen to form the metal oxide (bases). The metals react with water to form metal hydroxides (alkalis) and hydrogen The metals react with acids to form chemical salts and hydrogen . In terms of reactivity, Francium , reacts the same as other Group (I) & (II) metals, but is not found in the 'open' lab. because it is also radio-active.
alkali metals
The alkaline earth metals are metals!
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
