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.

Answer:
Period and groups are different because 
PERIODS are the number of shells
I.e in lame man words the no of circles when drawn an element 
GROUPS : these are the number of electrons in the outermost shell
 Groups determine the valency*
