Because they have two valence electrons.
Group 2 elements in the periodic table are the alkaline earth metals.
The alkaline earth metals are in the group 2 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
Metals are on the left side in periodic table. They are mainly present in group-1,2,13. Group-1 is alkali metals and group-2 is alkaline earth metals.Group 1 contains alkaline metals. Group 2 contains alkaline earth metals. And d block also contains metals.
The elements of the second group are called the Alkaline Earth metals.
Alkaline Earth Metals are found in group 2A of the periodic table of elements. Therefore, metals like Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium and Barium are all Alkaline Earth Metals.
No,but group 2 are alkaline earth elements
Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons.
Group 2 metals are classified as alkaline earth metals because they share similar properties: they are shiny, silvery-white, relatively reactive metals with two electrons in their outer shell. They react with water to form alkaline solutions and are generally less reactive than the alkali metals in Group 1.
The elements present in it are called alkaline earth metals. It contains beryllium, magnesium ....
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".
alkaline earth metals such as Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
Group 2A in the periodic table is known as the alkaline earth metals. This group includes elements such as beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. Alkaline earth metals share similar chemical properties, including being reactive and having two electrons in their outer shell.
