The outermost shell contains two electrons.
2 valence electrons (apex)
Alkaline earth metals are in the 2nd column of the periodic table. They can lose up to 2 electrons without having to pull electrons out of an inner shell, and so alkaline earth metals almost always have a charge of +2
Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons.
they have two valence electrons
b. valence electrons d. electrons needed to fill their octet
Alkaline earth metals are group 2 elements and have 2 valence electrons.
alkaline earth metals such as Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
All alkaline earth metals loss two electrons.
Alkaline earths have 2 valence electrons.
2 valence electrons (apex)
Alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
The alkaline earth metals are those in the same group as calcium; they have two valence electrons.
The second family is called Alkaline Earth Metals. They have 2 valence electrons.
Beryllium is the alkaline earth metal that has 2 valence electrons.
Alkaline earth metals have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
2
All alkaline Earth metals have tow valence electrons in their last orbit(Valency is +2) and hence have similar properties. So, they are placed in the same group.
