Does alkali earth metal lose electrons?
Yes. two electrons is lost.
What is an element with a single electron in its highest energy level is probably what type of metal?
An element with two electrons in its highest energy level is probably an alkaline earth metal. More specifically, it is likely magnesium or calcium, as these are the most common alkaline earth metals.
If x stands for a metal how can you tell from the following formulas xcl and xcl2 which compound contains an alkali metal and which contains an alkaline earth metal?
You have to balance the valence between the metal and Cl. Cl wants one electron, so it has a charge of -1. It takes one alkali metal to balance that charge, since alkali metals only give up one electron. This means XCl is made of an alkali metal. Alkaline earth metals give up two electrons, and so it can give one of those two electrons to two Cl. Therefore, XCl2 contains an alkaline earth metal
Which radius is larger Cs or K?
Cesium has the larger atomic radius, because it has electrons in 6 energy levels, whereas potassium has electrons in only 4 energy levels. As a result, cesium is the more reactive of these two alkali metals, because its valence electron is farther away from the nucleus, and thus easier to manipulate away from that atom to form an ion.
How many energy levels are there in boron?
There are two energy levles in a Boron! :) Happy to help!
Is titanium an alkali metal?
No it's not an alkali metal the alkali metal group is in group one and two
What is the alkali metal with two electrons in its plus 1 ion?
This alkali metal is lithium (Li).
Why do the alkali metal have lower ionization energies than the alkaline earth metals?
Alkali gases only have 1 electron needing to be removed to reach a stable noble gas configuration. Alkaline earths have two electrons. Alkali metals thus have the lower ionization energy of the two groups.
Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal have how many ionization energies?
Alkali metals (group 1 elements) have one valence electron. Hence have one ionization energy Alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electron. Hence have two ionization energy
What are two kinds of metal?
Metal (music) - doom and thrash Metal (element) - uranium and gold Metal (type of element) - alkali and transition
Does alkali earth metal lose electrons?
Yes. two electrons is lost.
What are two elements that are in the same family as magnesium?
Magnesium is an alkali earth metal. Beryllium and calcium are also alkali earth metals.
What is an element with a single electron in its highest energy level is probably what type of metal?
An element with two electrons in its highest energy level is probably an alkaline earth metal. More specifically, it is likely magnesium or calcium, as these are the most common alkaline earth metals.
Is zinc an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal?
no, alkaline earth metals are only in group 2 on the periodic table. nickel is a transitional metal

Table salt and sodium fluoride in toothpaste contain elements in what two families?
Table salt is NaCl: sodium is an alkali metal, chlorine is a halogen. Sodium fluoride: sodium is an alkali metal, fluorine is a halogen.
What are two common fire extinguishers that are ineffective on alkali metal fires?
Carbon Dioxide and water
