What family of metal is calcium in?
prety sure that only Potassium (K) and Sodium (Na) can react with calcium. check the reactivity series for more info.
Does potassium have hardness?
No. Alkali metals such as sodium and potassium are not usually considered contributors to water hardness. The alkaline earth and transition metals (such as calcium and iron) are. Potassium itself is a very soft metal that can be easily cut with a steel knife.
Do all alkaline metals have 2 electron shells?
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.
