they are harder than alkali metals
They both are highly reactive and are not found in nature in elemental state.
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
Group 2 elements in the periodic table are the alkaline earth metals.
they all have at least one electron
All of the alkaline earth metals are naturally occurring and they share similar properties: they are all rather reactive metals under standard conditions.
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
* 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.
