alkalimaalmetalli
Alkalimaalmetalli, also known as an alkaline earth metal, is a group of chemical elements in the periodic table, specifically the group 2 elements. This group includes beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). Alkaline earth metals are characterized by their two electrons in the outermost shell, which makes them highly reactive and prone to forming divalent cations.
These metals are typically silvery-white, soft, and have relatively low densities. They are less reactive than
The reactivity of alkaline earth metals increases as you move down the group. Beryllium, being the smallest
Alkaline earth metals are used in various applications, including as reducing agents in metallurgy, as deoxidizers
