Answer:

○Two electrons in the outer shell and a full outer electron s shell

○Low electron affinities

○Low electronegativities

○Relatively low densities

○Relatively low melting points and boiling points, as far as metals are concerned

○Typically malleable and ductile. Relatively soft and strong.

The elements readily form divalent cations (such as Mg2+and Ca2+).

The alkaline earth metals are very reactive, although less so than the alkali metals. Because of their high reactivity, the alkaline earths are not found free in nature. However, all of these elements do occur naturally. They are common in a wide variety of compounds and minerals.

These elements are shiny and silver-white as pure metals, although they usually appear dull because they react with air to form surface oxide layers.

All the alkaline earths, except for beryllium, form corrosive alkaline hydroxides.

All of the alkaline earths react with halogens to form halides. The halides are ionic crystals, except for beryllium chloride, which is a covalent compound.

Answer:

The alkaline earth metals are present inside the earth and when they are dissolved in water they form the base or alkali solution. Group 2 elements are known as alkaline earth metals.

They shows several common things like all the members show metallic property. They have low ionization energy and high electronegative energy. The atomic radius increases as we go down the group in case of the alkaline earth metals.

Do racial categories change and why?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The OMB states, "many federal programs are put into effect based on the race data obtained from the decennial census (i.e., promoting equal employment opportunities; assessing racial disparities in health and environmental risks). Race data are also critical for the basic research behind many policy decisions.The most recent United States Census officially recognized five racial categories (White or European American, Black or African American, American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islander) as well as people of two or more races.

How would a small, uncharged lipid move across the cell membrane?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Through simple diffusion, down the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

The phospholipids of the membrane are amphipathic with hydrophillic heads and hydrophobic tails. Other polar molecules cannot go through this hydrophobic interior. Since small uncharged lipids are non polar and hydrohobic, they are able to go through the membrane without the help of transport proteins. Therefore, the last two options can be ruled out because facilitated diffusion includes the use of a protein. Diffusion involves molecules moving down the concentration gradient so the second option can be ruled out.
