a. each is a good conductor of electricity
b. they are never found uncombined in nature
c. they lose two electrons in chemical reactions
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
The alkaline earth metals are in the group 2 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
Alkaline earth metals are in the 2nd group. Be,Mg,Ca,Sr,Ba belongs to this group.
All alkaline earth metals and their salts are reactive and they have a blue-print that identifies them as an alkaline earth metal but metals exist as metals, and salts as salts, with different structural compounds.
Beryllium, magnesium and barium are three more alkaline earth metals.
I like alkaline metals.
Alkaline earth metals is a group that is in the Periodic Table. Alkaline earth metals is said to be the 2nd most radioactive. Any element that has a greater atomic number than 83 is radioactive. If this 3rd sentence isn't true please blame Fjwood in Answers.com. Because the 3rd sentence I got it from Fjwood. NO OFFENSE FJWOOD.
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
alkali metals
The alkaline earth metals are metals!
Six alkali metals and six alkaline earths.
Group 2 elements in the periodic table are the alkaline earth metals.
Alkaline earth metals have two valence electrons, while alkali metals have one valence electron. Alkaline earth metals are harder and have higher melting points compared to alkali metals. Additionally, alkaline earth metals are less reactive than alkali metals.
no
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Radium is the radioactive metal among alkaline earth metals.
Yes When metals react with water they produce a metal hydroxide, this contains an OH- ion (which accepts protons and is therefore alkaline) This makes all metals alkaline.
