What is one property of alkaline metals?
All of the alkaline earth metals are naturally occurring and they share similar properties: they are all rather reactive metals under standard conditions.
What is true about all of the alkaline-earth-metals?
They are in the s block. less reactive than 1st group.
Why do all the alkaline earth metals have similar properties?
All alkaline earth metals loss two electrons.
What element is a reactive metal that attacks water?
All of the alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals heavier than magnesium, and the halogens fluorine and chlorine are all highly reactive with water itself.
Why is beryllium the least reactive?
Compared to what? But it would be less reactive because the s orbital is filled, the electrons are all paired. If you mean "Why is beryllium the least reactive of the Group II alkaline earth metals?", then this is because it has the least electron shielding, having an electron configuration of 2, 2. Beryllium is at the top as the first of the Group II alkaline earth metals, and reactivity increases as you go down Groups I and II.
What characteristics are shared by all metals and alkaline earth metals?
They are highly- reactive metals
What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?
They are highly- reactive metals
Is lithium a alkaline earth metal?
All alkali (not alkaline-earth) metals are extremely reactive with water, but within the group, lithium is the least reactive.
Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are?
Almost all the rest of the metals.
Compare and contrast the reaction of alkaline earth metals with their salts?
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.

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.

They are in the s block. less reactive than 1st group.
Least reactive alkaline earth metal?
All alkali (not alkaline-earth) metals are extremely reactive with water, but within the group, lithium is the least reactive.
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.

Are all alkaline earth metals metals?
no
