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 else can I help you with?
Are alkali and alkaline earth metals are not reactive?
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
The alkaline earth metals are found in group?
The alkaline earth metals are in the group 2 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
Compare and contrast the reaction of alkaline earth metals with their salts?
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.
What arethree alkaline-earth metals besides calcium?
Beryllium, magnesium and barium are three more alkaline earth metals.
Why the melting point boiling point and densities of alkaline earth metals are higher than alkali earth metals?
Alkaline earth metals do not exist , only alkali earth metals
Which are products of the alkaline and earth alkaline metals combustion?
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.

Are alkali and alkaline earth metals are not reactive?
No. The alkali and alkaline earth metals are very reactive.
Which alkaline earth metals are radioactive?
Radium is the radioactive metal among alkaline earth metals.
What are the key differences between alkaline earth metals and alkali 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.
Which family is the element Radium in?
