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.
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.
Beryllium, magnesium and barium are three more alkaline earth metals.

The density of alkaline earth metals is generally higher than that of alkali metals. This is because alkali metals have only one valence electron and are larger in size compared to alkaline earth metals, which have two valence electrons and are smaller in size. The higher density of alkaline earth metals is due to their more compact atomic structure.
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
alkali metals
The total mass percentage of alkaline earth metal ions is higher than that of alkaline metal ions in a compound since alkaline earth metals have a higher atomic mass compared to alkali metals. This means that alkaline earth metals contribute more to the total mass of the compound when present as ions.
halogens are represented the same way as alkaline metals, you can use subscripts
The alkaline earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table this means they have 2 electrons in each of their outermost energy 'shells'. The alkaline metals are in group 1 and only have 1 electron to lose in a reaction rather than 2. This means the alkaline metals react more readily.
Transition metals generally have less reactivity than alkali or alkaline earth metals. This is because transition metals have more filled electron shells which provide greater stability, making it harder for them to lose or gain electrons compared to alkali or alkaline earth metals. Transition metals typically form compounds by sharing electrons or by forming complex ions, unlike alkali or alkaline earth metals that readily form simple ionic compounds by losing electrons.
Alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are both groups of elements on the periodic table, but they have distinct differences in their properties and reactivity. Alkali metals are located in Group 1 of the periodic table and are highly reactive, soft metals that easily lose their outermost electron to form positive ions. In contrast, alkaline earth metals are located in Group 2 and are less reactive than alkali metals, but still have a tendency to lose electrons to form positive ions. Alkaline earth metals are harder and have higher melting points compared to alkali metals. Overall, alkali metals are more reactive and have lower melting points than alkaline earth metals.
Yes, transition metals generally have higher melting points compared to alkaline and alkali metals. This is because transition metals have a greater number of valence electrons and a stronger metallic bond, which requires more energy to break and transition from solid to liquid. In contrast, alkaline and alkali metals have fewer valence electrons and weaker metallic bonds, resulting in lower melting points.
The alkaline earth metals are metals!
Six alkali metals and six alkaline earths.
