Beryllium
Melting Point: 1287.0 °C Boiling Point: 2469.0 °C
Group 2 (alkaline earth metals): lithium, sodium, potassium, caesium, rubidium, francium.
Group 2 contains the alkaline earth metals
Alphabetically, the first alkaline earth metal is barium and the last is strontium.
Radium
Mercury, all alkali metals (like Sodium) and alkaline-earth metals (like Calcium).
Melting Point: 1287.0 °C Boiling Point: 2469.0 °C
Alkaline earth metals do not exist , only alkali earth metals
* alkaline metals contain the higher melting and also the boiling points. * These metals are present in the earths crust which does not have a basic form. * Alkaline earth metals are distributed in structure which is named as rock. * These metals have density which is low. * Alkaline earth metals have low electron affinity and as wells as low electronegativity. * One of the basic characteristic is, it contains two electrons in their outer shell.

becaus it has a extreemly stable set of valence electrons
The alkali metals have a valence of 1 while the alkaline earth metals have a valence of 2. The alkali metals are generally lighter, softer, more reactive, and have lower melting points than the alkaline earth metals.

The melting point of magnesium is 650 degrees celcius. It has the lowest melting point among all the group II metals (alkaline earth metals), though the melting points generally decrease down the group - magnesium is an exception and has the lowest melting point among them.
Beryllium (Be)
Beryllium (Be)
There are six principal alkaline earth metals. Although these elements have similar electron structures and are all somewhat similar in chemical and physical properties, they are different elements and thus all have different melting points. Melting points should not be confused with boiling points. For instance, the element beryllium has the highest rather than the lowest melting point. Beryllium (Be): 2,348.6° F (1,287° C) Magnesium (Mg): 1,202° F (650° C) Calcium (Ca): 1,547.6 ± 3° F (842 ± 2° C) Strontium (Sr): 1,430.6° F (777° C) Barium (Ba): 1,340.6° F (727° C) Radium (Ra): 1,292° F (700° C)
