Yes, they do.
Yes, both the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals with react with oxygen. The alkali metals will do so rapidly even at room temperature, cesium and rubidium self-ignite on contact to air.
Group 2 elements in the periodic table are the alkaline earth metals.
The alkaline earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table this means they have 2 electrons in each of their outermost energy 'shells'. The alkaline metals are in group 1 and only have 1 electron to lose in a reaction rather than 2. This means the alkaline metals react more readily.
Alkaline Earth Metals
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
Yes, they do.
Yes, alkaline earth metals react with water forming their hydroxides.
Some, such as the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and a few others do. But most don't.
No, they generally do, even at room temperature.
Yes, both the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals with react with oxygen. The alkali metals will do so rapidly even at room temperature, cesium and rubidium self-ignite on contact to air.

Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
The alkaline earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table this means they have 2 electrons in each of their outermost energy 'shells'. The alkaline metals are in group 1 and only have 1 electron to lose in a reaction rather than 2. This means the alkaline metals react more readily.
