Alkaline Earth Metal found in second group of Periodic Table. The components are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra).
Below some characteristics of Alkaline Earth metals,
1. These metals have an oxidation number of +2 that makes them very reactive.
2. These elements are not freely in nature.
3. These elements are found on earth crust but not in their basic form.
4. they have couple of electrons in their outer most shell.
5. They are distributed in rock structures.
6. They have a high boiling and melting point.
7. they have low density, electron affinity and electromagnetic.
8. they are silver in color.
9. ductile and malleable.
10. Easily reactive with halogens and water.
What else can I help you with?
Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal have how many ionization energies?
Alkali metals (group 1 elements) have one valence electron. Hence have one ionization energy Alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electron. Hence have two ionization energy
How does the hardness of the alkaline earth metals compared to the hardness of alkali metals?
Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).
What oxidation states can the alkaline earth metals exhibit?
0 and 2 oxidation states, and in some cases, 1 also
How does the solubility changes as you go to lower rows in the periodic table for alkali and alkaline earth metals?
As you move down the periodic table, the solubility of alkali metals (Group 1) generally increases due to their decreasing lattice energy and increasing hydration enthalpy, making their compounds more soluble in water. In contrast, for alkaline earth metals (Group 2), solubility trends can vary; while the solubility of some sulfates decreases down the group, most hydroxides and carbonates become less soluble. Overall, alkali metal compounds tend to be more soluble compared to those of alkaline earth metals.
What are some of the properties shared by alkaline earth metals?
some are easily, all of them react with air which they tarnish quickly. lithium, potassium, rubidium , caesium and francium all ignite when they are placed in water. but overall there is nothing else i can really say from what i know. :-)
Do metals react with water?
Some, such as the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and a few others do. But most don't.
What are some characteristics of alkaline earth metals?
Alkaline earth metals are located in Group 2 of the periodic table and include elements such as beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. They are shiny, silvery-white metals that are relatively reactive but less so than alkali metals. Alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons and are commonly found in minerals in the Earth's crust.
Give the names of some of the families of elements in the periodic table?
They are the Alkali Metals, Alkaline Metals, Transition Metals, Metalloids, Halogens, and the Noble (Inert) Gases. There is also the lanthanide and actinide series which are known as the Rare Earth Metals.
Alkali metal and alkaline earth metal have how many ionization energies?
Alkali metals (group 1 elements) have one valence electron. Hence have one ionization energy Alkaline earth metals (group 2 elements) have two valence electron. Hence have two ionization energy
What side of a periodic table of elements has metallic properties?
the groups of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and other metal are all metals and some of the metalloids have metallic properties and the alkali, alkaline are on the left, transition metals are in the middle, other metals are located directly next to the transition metals and the metalloids are next to the other metals, and then you have halogens and Nobel gases, Lanthanides and Actinides which are all gases and rare earth.
How does the hardness of the alkaline earth metals compared to the hardness of alkali metals?
Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).
How do the properties of the transition element compare with those of the alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals?
Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and Mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).
Properties of alkaline earth metals?
They are extremely reactive with acid -explosively in some cases. They are also very reactive with water and form alkaline solutions and also very reactive with halogens. Apart from that they have the usual properties of metals such as ductility and lustre etc.
What elements have two valence electrons?
Some elements with two valence electrons include beryllium (Be) and magnesium (Mg) in group 2 of the periodic table. These elements have two electrons in their outermost energy level.
Is a metal an acid or alkali?
Metals are not acids or alkalis. Metals are elements that tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, forming positive ions. Acids and alkalis are types of substances that can donate or accept protons in solution, respectively.
Why is beryllium classified as an aklaline metal?
Because beryllium has some similarities with the other alkaline earth metals; and also the electronic configuration is important.
What oxidation states can the alkaline earth metals exhibit?
0 and 2 oxidation states, and in some cases, 1 also
