When we look at the electron configuration we can make a comparison betwwen an alkine earth metal and lead oxide. Alkine earth when oxidised will become neutral and form a salt. When lead is oxidised the hydrogen atom is not included and will therefore not form a salt, this will result in the lead oxide not becoming a neutral atom but it will become an ion having a charge of -2
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.
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Alkaline earth metals are in the 2nd column of the periodic table. They can lose up to 2 electrons without having to pull electrons out of an inner shell, and so alkaline earth metals almost always have a charge of +2
The alkaline earth metals are in the group 2 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
Alkaline earth metals are in the 2nd group. Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Ba belongs to this group.
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.
generally known as metal hydroxides or basic salts. They are formed when active metals (like alkali metals or alkaline earth metals) react with hydroxide ions to form compounds with a basic pH. These compounds are often used in various industrial processes and as alkaline reagents.
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
Alkaline Earth Metals
alkali metals
Elements in group 2 are called alkaline earth metals. They include beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. They have two valence electrons and are relatively reactive.
alkaline metals, alkaline earth metals, lanthanides and actinides and metals in mixed groups
The alkali metals are more reactive.
Alkaline Earth Metals
Group 2 metals are classified as alkaline earth metals because they share similar properties: they are shiny, silvery-white, relatively reactive metals with two electrons in their outer shell. They react with water to form alkaline solutions and are generally less reactive than the alkali metals in Group 1.
The alkaline earth metals are metals!
Six alkali metals and six alkaline earths.
