Alkaline earth metals are in the 2nd column of the periodic table. They can lose up to 2 electrons without having to pull electrons out of an inner shell, and so alkaline earth metals almost always have a charge of +2
Alkaline earth metals in the elemental state are neutral. When they form an ion it is with a charge of +2.
In order to have a full octet or outer valence shell, Alkaline earth metals prefer to lose 2 electrons.
Two electrons are lost with alkaline earth metals. They form positive ions.
They form divalent cations, 2+.
Two electrons are lost.

MH2, M= alkaline earth metal.
It is not a alkaline metal.It is a alkaline earth metal.
Beryllium is an alkaline earth metal.
why nitrogen form compound with alkaline earth metal
Alkaline earth metals are in the second group. Be is the first metal of them.
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
-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.
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 an alkaline earth element
It is not an alkaline earth metal it is a noble gas
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-.
