All alkali (not alkaline-earth) metals are extremely reactive with water, but within the group, lithium is the least reactive.
Look at any periodic table: Beryllium #4 Magnesium #12 Calcium #20 Strontium #38 Barium #56 Radium #88
Radium (Ra), atomic number 88, is the most reactive alkaline earth metal. It has the most energy levels of all the alkaline earth metals therefore it's electrons are more easily taken away.
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.
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.
It is located, in the periodic table, with the metalloids. However, it is a transition metal.

alkali metal
Alkaline earth metal.Magnesium is a good example of this family of reactive metals.
Radium is an alkaline earth metal, radioactive, solid, reactive.
Francium is the most reactive alkaline earth metal due to its high reactivity with water and air. It is a highly radioactive element with a very short half-life, making it difficult to study its properties.
Calcium is a metal. It is a reactive alkaline earth metal that is commonly found in nature in various compounds.
Magnesium is an Alkaline Earth element. It is a metal, and is very reactive.
Radium (Ra), atomic number 88, is the most reactive alkaline earth metal. It has the most energy levels of all the alkaline earth metals therefore it's electrons are more easily taken away.
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.
Yes, alkaline earth metals are reactive to water. When they react with water, they form a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas. However, their reactivity is lower compared to alkali metals like sodium and potassium.
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.
