Any of a group of metallic elements, especially calcium, strontium, magnesium, and barium, but generally including beryllium and radium
What else can I help you with?
How many Alkaline and Alkali Metals are there?
Six alkali metals and six alkaline earths.
How many valence electrons are in alkaline earth metals?
Alkaline earths have 2 valence electrons.
What are elements that are found on the left-hand side of the periodic table?
Metals especially the alkali metals and alkaline earths.
Why do alkaline earth metals react less rapidly than alkali metals?
Alkaline earth metals have two outer electons. Alkali metals have one. It is more energetically favorable (easier) t oremove one electron than two making alkali metals more reactive than alkaline earths.
What is the characteristics of alkaline?
* 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.
What is the family name for sodium?
Sodium is not a living thing. and hence, no family. but it belongs to the alkaline earth metals. Sodium is an Alkaline metal. The Alkaline Earths are the next column over.
Which 2 groups of metals are the most reactive?
Alkali metals (Group 1) and alkaline earth metals (Group 2) are the most reactive groups of metals. They readily lose electrons to form ions and participate in chemical reactions with nonmetals to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Metals having only two electrons in the highest energy level?
Group 2 metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Rn) have two electrons in their valence shell.
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.
Which is more metallic alkaline metals or alkaline earth metals?
alkali metals
What is the combining capacity of the alkaline earth metals?
In general, alkaline earths are very reactive and all have a valency of +2. They will thus combine with one oxygen or two halogen atoms etc.
Why do alkaline earths have low resistivity?
They are highly reactive. They are in the s block.
