The correct answer is higher melting point, bound by metal metal bonds.

While alkali metals only have one valence electron, alkaline earth metals have two. Metal to metal connections hold the metals together. Alkaline earth metals have a stronger metallic connection and a higher melting point because they have two valence electrons.

the characteristics that Group 2 metals excel in over Group 1 metals.

  • Initial Ionization Potential
  • Group 2 items are more difficult than group 1 elements.
  • Strong propensity to produce bivalent compounds

As a result, group 2 metals have stronger metallic bonding, which leads to increased cohesive energy and compact atom packing. This explains why group 2 metals are harder and have higher melting and boiling temperatures than group 1 metals.

Sulfur reacts with oxygen and creates two compounds. Compound A contains 1.34 g of sulfur for every 0.86 g of oxygen. Compound B
spayn [35]

Answer:

The mass ratio of oxygen rounded to the nearest whole no. 3 : 2

Explanation:

According to Law of Multiple proportion when two elements combine to make two or more different compounds, the mass ratio of the two element in the first compound, when divided by the mass ratio of the second compound , form a simple whole number ratio.

Compound A contains 1.34 g of sulfur for every 0.86 g of oxygen

        \frac{1.34}{0.86}= 1.5

Compound B contains 11.63 g of sulfur for every 10.49 g of oxygen

      \frac{11.643}{10.49}= 1.0

Ratio of oxygen in each compound

   always put the larger number over the smaller number.

\frac{CompoundA}{Compound B}=\frac{1.5}{1.0}=\frac{3}{2}

nydimaria [60]
I don't know this article, but I do know some major changes: first, the change from the plum pudding model (no nucleus, just electrons) to the gold foil experiment, which had Rutherford shoot alpha particles at a sheet of gold only to find them rebounding, proving the existence of a positively charged mass, i.e a nucleus, in the atom. However, this changed again when Bohr realized that the negatively charged electrons should be attracted to the positively charged center, so that there must be something else inside the nucleus.
