Alkaline Earths
The Alkaline Earth Metals are the second group of the periodic table of the elements. They are highly reactive and share many properties with each other. In this category, there are ANY questions that have to do with the alkaline earths, or their elements: Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.
621 Questions
What characteristics are shared by alkalimetals and alkaline earth metals?
They are metals that are reactive. They form cations easily and form ionic bonds.
I am a member of the alkaline earth metals used to make fireworks and medicines what am i?
magnesium..
What does beryllium taste like?
imagine eating a rainbow. now imagine eating a rainbow while riding a unicorn.
its like that but a little unhealthy.
Which period is Beryllium classified under on the periodic table?
Beryllium is classified under Period 2.
What trends in the solubilities of the compounds of the alkaline earth metals can be inferred?
1) NaOH : two top alkaline earth metals' solubility is decreasing as we can see from cloudy to lots of solid and two bottom metals' solubility is also decreasing in observing difference amount of solid between Sr(NO3)2 and Ba(NO3)2
2) NaCl: all of the alkaline earth metals are soluble.
3) NABr: all of the alkaline earth metals are soluble.
4) NaI: all of the alkaline earth metals are soluble.
5) Na2SO4: solubility of alkaline earth metals is decreasing from clear to solid and cloudy.
6) Na2CO3: solubility of alkaline earth metals from Mg(No3)2 to Sr(NO3)2 is decreasing and after Sr(NO3)2, solubility is increasing.
7) Na2C2O4: solubility of alkaline earth metals is decreasing from clear to solid and cloudy.
Is magnesium the alkaline earth metal constitutes Grignard reagent?
Yes, magnesium is the alkaline earth metal that is used to prepare Grignard reagents. Grignard reagents are formed by reacting magnesium metal with an organic halide compound, such as an alkyl or aryl halide, in an ether solvent. This reaction results in the formation of an organic magnesium halide compound, which is known as a Grignard reagent.
Alkaline earth metals in order of their chemical reactivity?
I believe it is Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba)
What are the common compounds gold forms?
Gold does not form compounds very readily.
Most known gold compounds are
Gold oxide, chloride, thiosulphate
double: Gold potassium cyanide, gold ammonium sulphite.
The compounds decompose very readily at low temperatures.
What would it be like if beryllium wasn't discovered?
In order for beryllium to not be discovered, we have to presume a level of technology roughly equivalent to the 18th century (beryllium was first isolated around 1830). So, dig out your history book and look up that time period.
Beryllium is used for high-tech aircraft parts, for nonmagnetic tools for radar and MRI equipment, and for some types of electronics. The chances that any of those applications could exist without a level of technology sufficient to make the existence of beryllium obvious is nil.
Why are neither the alkali metals nor the alkaline-earth metals found uncombined in nature?
Because these metals are very reactive and readily form compounds.
What is the symbol for the element beryllium?
Beryllium is an alkaline earth metal. It has an atomic number of 4. By looking at this spot on the periodic table, one finds that beryllium has the atomic symbol Be.
What substances are called that are not acid or alkali?
It is a neutral substances.Examples are water,methane etc.
What acids and alkali make up potassium chloride?
There can be several.As an example KOH+HCl produce KCl.
What are alkaline metal an alkaline earth metal and a transition metal?
Beryllium
magnesium
strantium
calcium
barium
radium
Write the expected ground-state electron configuration for the alkaline earth metal after radium?
You think probably at Unbinilium (120Ubn) an element not still obtained.
The supposed electron configuration of Ubn will be [Uuo]7s2.
Which alkaline earth metal is radioactive?
Radium. Elements with an atomic number greater than 83 are always radioactive.
Which of the following missing . There are two my dear... Calcium would be the answer if magnesium is not there.....
Magnesium and calcium aren't usaly combine with organic drug molecules, since they are more readily bind with inorganic substances.
The ability to be drawn into a thin wire is a property known as ductility. Iron has ductility.
