alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electrons
Zinc and Calcium
Alkaline earth elements have two valence electrons Those are the alkaline earth metals, technically referred to as Group 2. They are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra). Radium has two valence electrons and is in Group 2, but is sometimes left off lists of the alkaline earth metals because it is radioactive. - Soccer_Fanatic18
alkali metals have 1 electron in there outer valence shell. I remember that alkali and alkaline go with columns 1 & 2 of the periodic table alphabetically. Alkali then alkaline. Alkali metals have 1 valence electron. Alkaline metals have 2 valence electrons.
Group II elements (also called alkaline earth metals), have two valence electrons. To fill their outer shell, they therefore become ions with two positive charges, such as magnesium: Mg -> 2e- + Mg2+
alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electrons
The alkali earth elements have TWO valence electrons.
Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons.
Alkaline Earth metals :)
Alkaline Earth metals :)
Alkaline earths have 2 valence electrons.
Alkali metals (group 1 elements) have one valence electron. Hence have one ionization energy Alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electron. Hence have two ionization energy
Helium has 2 valence electrons. Group 2 elements (alkaline earth metals) also have 2 valence electrons.
2 valence electrons (apex)
The alkaline earth metals are those in the same group as calcium; they have two valence electrons.
Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons.
The alkaline earth metals in column 2 and the transition metals in column 12 of a wide-form periodic table.
