Want this question answered?
charge on the ion formed from an alkaline earth metal is +2 because it has 2 e- in its outer valence shell which it can lose to attain nearest noble gas configuration.
All alkaline earth metal ions have a charge of +2
-1 charge
"Base" is a more general term. For a base to be alkaline it has to be soluble in water and it has to be formed from an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal.
Alkali metals possess +1 charge. Alkaline earth metals have +2 and aluminium has +3 charge.

The ionic charge of: alkali is +1 alkaline earth metals is +2 aluminium is +3
Beryllium is an alkaline earth metal, so its charge will always be Be+2.
It is an alkaline earth metal.
It is not an alkaline earth metal it is a noble gas
It is an alkaline earth element
It is not an alkaline earth metal it is a noble gas
Alkaline earth metals form cations withe the electrical charge +2.As an exceptional curiosity exist the ion Ca-.
