The alkali metals.
Yes

No,but group 2 are alkaline earth elements
Group 2A elements are commonly known as the alkaline earth metals, while groups 1A is called the alkali metals.
Group 2
Alkaline Earth Metals
These are the alkaline-earth metals.
The elements known as alkali metals are found in group I
Group 1- Alkali metals Group 2- Alkali earth metals Group 3-12_Transition metals Group 17-Halogens Group 18-Noble gases
Group 2 of the periodic table of elements: beryllium, calcium, barium strontium, magnesium, radium.
Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
The family name is 2A or IIA.(Answer Improvement) 2A is really the same thing as group 2 above in the question. The family name for this group is "alkaline earth metals".
Elements in the groups 3 to 12 are known as transition metals or d block elements.
Group IA or group 1 elements are known as alkali metals.
