Are alkali and alkaline earth metals are not reactive?
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Do alkali metals react slower or faster than alkaline earth metals?
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
Are alkali metal and alkaline earht metals similar?
The alkali earth metals act in a similar but slightly less reactive way to alkali metals
Is the alkali metal more reactive than an alkaline-earth metal?
Yes, alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline-earth metals. All atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer shells. Alkali metals have to give one electron away, where as alkaline-earth metals need to give two away which is less energetically favorable.
What characteristics are shared by all alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?
They are highly- reactive metals
What are the common properties of halogen?
highly reactive with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals
How are alkali metals different from alkaline metals?
The alkali metals are generally more reactive than the alkaline earth metals. They form 1+ ions while the alkaline earth metals form 2+ ions. Alkali metal compounds tend to be more soluble in water than alkaline earth metals.
What metals softer and more reactive than other metals?
Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals
How are the alkali metals different from the alkali-earth metals in the periodic table?
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.

In what column of the periodic table are the reactive metals located?
I and II. The Alkaline Earth Metals and the Alkali Metals.
Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are?
Almost all the rest of the metals.
