Question

The charge of most alkaline earth metals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2+ charge

Explanation:  The alkaline earth metals have two valence electrons in their highest-energy orbitals (ns2). They are smaller than the alkali metals of the same period, and therefore have higher ionization energies. In most cases, the alkaline earth metals are ionized to form a 2+ charge
