The Alkaline Earth Metals are metallic elements found in Group 2 of |
|
the Periodic Table. All Alkaline Earth Metals are strong reducing |
|
agents, and have an oxidation number of +2, making them very |
|
reactive. These metals are also shiny, lustrous, and good conductors |
|
of heat and electricity. They have low melting points, boiling |
|
points, and densities (but higher than those of Alkali Metals). |
