○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.

neonofarm [45]
Yes because movement is a characteristic of living things, and it is something that a living being must do to survive. For example, (at a cellular level) you need movement for growth, reproduction, and responses to stimuli.
