Compare and contrast the reaction of alkaline earth metals with their salts?
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.
Which are products of the alkaline and earth alkaline metals combustion?
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
Elements in group 2 are called?
Group 2 elements in the periodic table are the alkaline earth metals.
Which is more metallic alkaline metals or alkaline earth metals?
alkali metals
Is alkaline earth metal in the group of metals nonmetals metalloids or diatomic molecule?
The alkaline earth metals are metals!
Are alkali and alkaline earth metals are not reactive?
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Which alkaline earth metals are radioactive?
Radium is the radioactive metal among alkaline earth metals.
Why are the alkaline earth metals less reactive hen the alkali 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 metal do not react with oxygen?
Alkaline-earth metals do react with oxygen, forming oxides. The reaction tends to be less vigorous compared to alkali metals, as alkaline-earth metals have a higher ionization energy. Examples of alkaline-earth metal oxides include magnesium oxide (MgO) and calcium oxide (CaO).
What are the key differences between alkaline earth metals and alkali metals?
Alkaline earth metals have two valence electrons, while alkali metals have one valence electron. Alkaline earth metals are harder and have higher melting points compared to alkali metals. Additionally, alkaline earth metals are less reactive than alkali metals.
Which family is the element Radium in?
Radium is in the alkaline earth metals.
What is the number of valence electrons in alkaline earth metals?
Alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
