You should try to strt a conversation with him or say hi introduce yourself or ask him how hes doing just talk to him i guess
Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.
Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra
Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.
Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At
When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.
When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.
For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get
or 
When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be 
A. electron. The nucleus has protons and neutrons, quark is the particle which forms protons and neutrons.
A balanced equation is a prime example of the law of the conservation of mass as the number of atoms in the reactants is consistent with the number of atoms in the reactants meaning the amount of matter has not changed and no mass has been created or destroyed hence obeying the law.
