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.
Alkaline Earth Metals
Group 2 elements in the periodic table are the alkaline earth metals.
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
Alkaline Earth 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.
Group 2 contains the alkaline earth metals

Group 2 is the Alkaline Earth Metals. A link can be found below.
The alkaline earth metals are metals!
as most of the metals of group 2 are found in earth soil in large amount and they are alkaline metals. This is the main reason for calling alkaline earth metals.
group 2a are called the alkaline earth metals
