Is the alkali metal more reactive than an alkaline-earth metal?
Yes, alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline-earth metals. All atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer shells. Alkali metals have to give one electron away, where as alkaline-earth metals need to give two away which is less energetically favorable.
What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?
They are highly- reactive metals
Why alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals?
All atoms want to do is make their valence shell full. In alkali metals they have all of their shells completely full except one valence electron. The alkali metals REALLY want to get rid of that electron, so they will react with many elements/compounds to get rid of that electron. In alkaline earth metals they have all of their shells completely full except for two valence electrons. They also want to get rid of those electrons but the alkaline earth metals are not as desperate to do so as the alkali earth metals which make the alkaline much less reactive than the alkali metals.
Why are neither the alkali metals nor the alkaline earth metals found in nature?
Because these metals are very reactive and readily form compounds.
Why are neither the alkali metals nor the alkaline-earth metals found uncombined in nature?
Because these metals are very reactive and readily form compounds.
Which group of metals is more reactive the alkali metals or the alkaline earth metals?
The alkali metals are more reactive.
Do alkali metals react slower or faster than alkaline earth metals?
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
Are alkali metal and alkaline earht metals similar?
The alkali earth metals act in a similar but slightly less reactive way to alkali metals

What are the common properties of halogen?
highly reactive with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals
How are alkali metals different from alkaline metals?
The alkali metals are generally more reactive than the alkaline earth metals. They form 1+ ions while the alkaline earth metals form 2+ ions. Alkali metal compounds tend to be more soluble in water than alkaline earth metals.
What metals softer and more reactive than other metals?
Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals
How are the alkali metals different from the alkali-earth metals in the periodic table?
The alkali metals have a valence of 1 while the alkaline earth metals have a valence of 2. The alkali metals are generally lighter, softer, more reactive, and have lower melting points than the alkaline earth metals.

In what column of the periodic table are the reactive metals located?
I and II. The Alkaline Earth Metals and the Alkali Metals.
Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are?
Almost all the rest of the metals.
