Beryllium ( Be)
Beryllium has the lowest atomic number among the alkaline earth metals.
Radium (Ra), atomic number 88, is the most reactive alkaline earth metal. It has the most energy levels of all the alkaline earth metals therefore it's electrons are more easily taken away.
Alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
Barium is the largest alkaline earth metal due to its larger atomic size compared to the other alkaline earth metals like magnesium, calcium, strontium, and radium.
The electronegativityÊ of alkaline earth metals decreases as you go down the group due to increase in atomic radius. The earth alkaline metals are beryllium, magnesium, strontium, barium and radium. Radium has the smallest electronegative.
Alkaline earth metals is a group that is in the Periodic Table. Alkaline earth metals is said to be the 2nd most radioactive. Any element that has a greater atomic number than 83 is radioactive. If this 3rd sentence isn't true please blame Fjwood in Answers.com. Because the 3rd sentence I got it from Fjwood. NO OFFENSE FJWOOD.
The Element, Calcium: symbol Ca; atomic number 20; atomic wt 40.08 is a Metal in Group IIA, the Alkaline Earth Metals.

The density of alkaline earth metals is generally higher than that of alkali metals. This is because alkali metals have only one valence electron and are larger in size compared to alkaline earth metals, which have two valence electrons and are smaller in size. The higher density of alkaline earth metals is due to their more compact atomic structure.
Beryllium is in the second group. It is an alkaline earth metal.
Oh, dude, radium is like that cool kid hanging out in Group 2 of the periodic table, also known as the alkaline earth metals. It's chilling right below barium and above francium, just doing its thing, being all radioactive and stuff. So yeah, radium is like the rockstar of Group 2.
