∙ 13y agoThe reaction is essentially the same for all of the so I will use sodium (Na) as an example.
2Na +2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

-----------------
Magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium react with water; beryllium don't react. The most reactive is radium.

What alkaline earth metal will not react with liquid water or with steam?
Beryllium
Why are the groups alkaline earth metals halogens called so?
They react with water like the alkaline metal but does not change or melt with fire.The alkaline part of the name comes from the fact that these metal form alkaline solutions, when they react with water. The earth part was added to differentiate these from the group one metals. Alchemists called them earth metals because they though that their oxides were new elements.In the middle age the oxides of these metals (metals which are not known in time) are called alkaline earths: alkalinebecause these oxides react with water forming an alkaline solution and earths because in the past non-metallic compounds were called earths.
One way to demonstrate reactivity among the alkaline earth metals Group 2A is to observe what happens when they are placed in?
water
What are alkaline earth metals?
They are a series of elements, or metals, on the Periodic Table of Elements. The alkaline earth metals are: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium (i.e, the ones with two electrons in their outer shell and common oxidation state +2, right next to the alkali metals with common oxidation state +1). They're all silvery-colored and soft, and they combine with water to form alkaline hydroxides, but not as readily as the alkali metals do.
What dose alkaline earth metals mean?
In old nomenclature, oxides of elements were called "earths". The oxides of Group II form alkaline (basic pH) solutions in water; i.e. they are base anhydrides. Thus they were referred to as the alkaline earth metals.
Does alkaline reacts in water?
Yes, alkaline earth metals react with water forming their hydroxides.
Do metals react with water?
Some, such as the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and a few others do. But most don't.
How alum dissolves in the water?
Aluminum can not be dissolved in water, because it is a metal from group 13. Only some of the earth alkaline metals and all of the alkaline metals dissolve (and react!) with water.
Oxides react with oxygen and water and are used to make paints are some of the properties of which type of metals?
alkaline earth metals
Why s and p block elements are called alkali and alkaline earth metals respectively?
because they when react with water
What can alkaline earth react with?
Water
Why is group 1 metals called alkali metals?
They're metals that form alkaline compounds when they react with water.
Is alkaline soluble?
Alkali metals violently react with water.
Are metals alkaline?
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.
What metals that lose one electron when they react with water to form alkaline solutions?
Alkali metals
What are Two reactive metals that float in water?
The alkaline metals react with water, and Lithium and Sodium float on the water whilst reacting.
How are alkali metals different from alkaline metals?
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.
