Group 1A and 2A, or Alkali metal and Alkaline earth metal.
alkali metals have 1 electron in there outer valence shell. I remember that alkali and alkaline go with columns 1 & 2 of the periodic table alphabetically. Alkali then alkaline. Alkali metals have 1 valence electron. Alkaline metals have 2 valence electrons.
This is different for each period of group IIA in the P.T.Examples:Be in period 2 has 4 electrons, Ca in p.4 has 20and Ra in p.7 (down under in P.T.) has 88 electrons.The whole row: 4, 12, 20, 38, 56, 88 electrons, from top to bottom in group IIA
Alkaline-earth metals
Group: Second groupThat means its family is alkaline earth metals.
group 7A the halogens.
they have 2
Group 1A and 2A, or Alkali metal and Alkaline earth metal.
Alkaline metals and hydrogen, all the elements in the first column of the Periodic Table.
alkali metals have 1 electron in there outer valence shell. I remember that alkali and alkaline go with columns 1 & 2 of the periodic table alphabetically. Alkali then alkaline. Alkali metals have 1 valence electron. Alkaline metals have 2 valence electrons.
the mass of electron is very less compared to that of a proton or a neutron it is 1/1800 the mass of 1 proton and therefore it is negligible and not included.
The alkaline metals group is the group at the very left group on the periodic table. The elements in this group have only 1 electron in the outer shell, so they react very easily, with for instance water.
because they are extremely reactive. They belongs to group of one periodic table and have one electron in the outer valence shell.

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.
Hydrogen is the element which is not alkaline metal but in the top of the periodic table. It is depicted in the 1st group because it has 1 valence electron. It is a non metal.
The alkaline earth metals are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium.
