Alkaline Earth Metals
These elements are silver or white in color, ductile, lustrous, and malleable. All of the alkaline earth metals are found as compounds within the earth’s crust. All alkaline earth metals react readily with water, conduct electricity well, burn in air, have low densities, and are powerful reducing agents. In addition, they are strongly basic, bivalent (have two electrons in the valence shell), and occur in nature only in compounds. The reason for these similar properties lies in the valence electrons. The outer shell of all alkaline earth metals contains two electrons in the s orbital, causing these elements to react similarly, have the same oxidation number of +2, have low ionization energy and electronegativity, and combine with similar elements.
