These are called alkali earth metals. Look it up for explanation as to why.
base in my experience.... because of the gravity of the earth...
Group 2 (IIA) - Alkaline earth metals: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra ns2
Beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium are the group IIA elements.
The elements belonging to Group IA and IIA.
The ONLY liquid elements (at STP) areMercury, Hg, in group 12Bromine, Br, in group 17Notations like ia, iia, ib or iib are not commonly in use, maybe in older books or periodic tables.
There is none. All of the elements in group/family in group IIA/2 are solids at room temperature.

group 2a are called the alkaline earth metals
Increases from top to bottom.
This is different for each period of group IIA in the P.T.Examples:Be in period 2 has 4 electrons, Ca in p.4 has 20and Ra in p.7 (down under in P.T.) has 88 electrons.The whole row: 4, 12, 20, 38, 56, 88 electrons, from top to bottom in group IIA
The charge for all elements in Group 2A is +2.
