Alphabetically, the first alkaline earth metal is barium and the last is strontium.
Group 1 Elements (elements in the first group [column]) are classed as Alkali Metals. Group 2 Elements (elements in the second group [column]) are classed as Alkaline Earth Metals. All elements not in a representative group are classed as Transition Metals. Group 3 Elements (elements in the third full group [coulumn]) are classed as Earth Metals
It occurs at the top of the metals (alkaline metals) - the first group of elements but while normally shown at the top of the Group 1 elements in the periodic table, the term "alkaline metal" refers only to Group 1 elements from lithium onwards. (Lithium is the next one down)
First its the crust we live on,then its the mantle a layer of hot rock,then the outer core liquid metals,the inner core a ball of solid iron.
The most reactive metals (those in the first group of the periodic table) are called Alkali metals.
The chemical symbol for gold is Au and the chemical symbol for iron is Fe.
Alkaline earth metals are in the second group. Be is the first metal of them.
It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.
Yes, they are.

Beryllium is the first element in the alkaline earth metals.
the first and second groups. alkaline earth metals: group IIA (2) [It consists with "Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Ba,Ra"] alkali metals: group IA (1) [It consists with "Li,Na,K,Rb,Cs,Fr"]
the first and second groups. alkaline earth metals: group IIA (2) [It consists with "Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Ba,Ra"] alkali metals: group IA (1) [It consists with "Li,Na,K,Rb,Cs,Fr"]
Alkaline earth metals are found in Group 2
Lithium belongs to first group.So it is a alkali metal.

Look at the position of Pb in the periodic table and the postion of the Alkali Earth metals. Alkali Earth Metals are in noble-gas configuration when they are doubly charged cations. Lead however is on the right hand side, and would like to have more electrons to get into that stablest configuration; making the bonds in lead-compounds more covalent -and stronger- in nature. Insoluble compounds have lattice enthalpies higher than the enthalpy of solvation. Now since Alkali Earth metals like to be in ionic states; their compounds will dissolve in general more easily than the same compounds with lead, since usually the lattice energy of lead compounds is much higher (In case of insoluble compounds higher than the energy that would be released upon solvation, which thus doesn't occur).
Look at any periodic table: Beryllium #4 Magnesium #12 Calcium #20 Strontium #38 Barium #56 Radium #88
