The general characteristics and gradation in properties of alkaline earth metals-
- General electronic configuration is [noble gas]
.
- Have two electrons to lose and attain their nearest noble gas configuration.
- have smaller atomic and ionic radii than corresponding alkali metals in the same periods.
- First IE is higher than those elements of group 1
- electropositive nature increase down the group from Be to Ba.
- they give a positive flame test by imparting different colours.(except Be and Mg)
Chemical properties-
