Group 2A: Alkaline Earth Metals
Characteristics:
Solid at room temperature
Typical metallic properties
Harder denser and higher melting temperature compared to alkali metals
Chemical properties:
Less reaction activity compared to alkali metals
They tend to lose 2e- from their outer s-orbital and form 2+ ion.
The ionization energy required to remove the electrons are decrease from top to
bottom in the group of 2A in periodic table
Except Beryllium, others elements in the same group can react with H20 to form Base
and H2
