Alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
Each has 2 valence electrons but the number of total electrons varies with each metal. Here they are for each metal. Beryllium: 4 Magnesium: 12 Calcium: 20 Strontium: 38 Barium: 56 Radium: 88.
The oxidation number of alkaline earth metals is typically +2. This is because they have two valence electrons, which they tend to lose to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons. In fact, the number of valence electrons of elements can be deduced from the group number (e.g. group VII elements have 7 valence electrons).
No. All the alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons, meaning they have two electrons in the outermost shells. No two alkaline earth metals have the same number of electron shells. Beryllium is the only one with two shells.
Alkali Earth metals have a single valence electron, and are found in the first group.

Zinc and Calcium
Strontium has 2 valence electrons because it is part of the Alkaline Earth Metals or Group 2 of the periodic table which all have 2 valence electrons
Yes, transition metals generally have higher melting points compared to alkaline and alkali metals. This is because transition metals have a greater number of valence electrons and a stronger metallic bond, which requires more energy to break and transition from solid to liquid. In contrast, alkaline and alkali metals have fewer valence electrons and weaker metallic bonds, resulting in lower melting points.
Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons. In fact, the number of valence electrons of elements can be deduced from the group number (e.g. group VII elements have 7 valence electrons).

The ionic charge depends on the number of valence electrons. Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and aluminium have 1, 2 and 3 valence electrons respectively and will hence form ions with +1, +2 and +3 charges respectively.
