A family of elements that has two electrons in its outer energy level is?
They are the alkaline metals.
Why are the alkaline-earth metals less reactive than the alkali metals?
Alkaline-earth metal have two electrons in there outer shell, so only need to lose one to form a stable electron arrangement. Alkali metals have one electron in there outer shell - so they need only lose one to form a stable electron arrangement
What group of elements tends to form plus 2 charge?
The Group 2 elements, or the Alkali Earth metals, tend to form +2 charges when they become ions. This is because Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons and it is easier to lose 2 electrons than it is to gain 6 electrons to form a full outer shell.
What are the elements called in the first group of the periodic table that have one outer shell electron and is extremely reactive?
The elements in the first group of the period table which have one electron in their outer shells and react extremely well are also known as the alkali metals. These elements are Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium.
What are alkaline earth metals on the periodic table?
Alkaline Earth Metals are the elements located in group/family 2, or the second column of the periodic table. They include Beryllium-Be, Magnesium-Mg, Calcium-Ca, Strontium-Sr, Barium-Ba, and Radium-Ra. They have 2 electrons in their outer shell making them very reactive, and are not found freely in nature.
What are These metals have two electrons in their outer level?
The alkaline earth metals (group 2 on the periodic table) have two valence electrons (electrons in their outer level).
What is the name for metals with two electrons in the outer energy level?
They are called Alkaline Earth Metals
Why does alkaline earth metals have two outer electrons in its outer energy level?
Cause they W
What is the group of elements with two electrons in the outer level?
alkaline earth metals
Which family has 2 electrons in outer shell?
alkaline earth metals such as Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
What metals have two electrons in their outer level?
Group 2 elements ... also called alkaline earth metals.
Elements with one to two electrons in the outer energy level?
Alkali and alkaline earth metals
What element has 2 valence electrons and 4 energy levels?
The element magnesium has four electron energy levels and two electrons in its outer energy level in the neutral atom. Use the link to Wikipedia for more details.
Why Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal form cation?
alkaline earth metals and alkali metals have 2 and 1 electrons in their outer most shell and are not tightly bound to nucleus so they are ready to lose their outer most electrons to form mono and divalent cations.
Do alkaline earth metals form ions with a plus 2 charge?
YEP! remember In science in order for the Alkali metals and Alkaline earth metals to become stable they must give AWAY electrons. The Earth metals have a Plus 2 charge because they give away 2 electrons on there outer shell!
How many electrons are in the outer energy Level the atoms of alkaline earth metals?
less than 2 (1)
How many electrons are in the outer energy level of the atoms of alkaline-earth metals?
less than 2 (1)
