No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Alkaline earth metals do not exist , only alkali earth metals
It is because alkali metals are larger in size than alkaline earth metals.Also, the effective nuclear charge is more in case of alkaline earth metals. This makes their ionization enthalpies larger than alkali metals.
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.
they are harder than alkali metals

It is about first ionization energy. It is less than alkaline earth metals.
Six alkali metals and six alkaline earths.
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
alkali metals
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
its definitley not acid Some metals are called alkali metals or alkaline earth metals because they often form alkaline compounds; but metals are not alkali or acids.
alkali metals have one valence electron, whereas alkaline earth metals have two valence electrons.
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.
Alkali earth metals are named after their oxides, alkaline earth.
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.
