Alkali Metals and Alkaline Earth Metals By Marina, Lilly, and Destiny
Group 1 : Alkali Metals • Do not happen in nature • 1 Valence Electron Qualities • Reactive • Good Conductors of Heat and Electricity • Malleable • Ductile • Can explode if exposed to water • Silver • Shiny • Soft • Low Density
Explanations: Alkali Metals • Alkali Metals are the most reactive metals because there atom can give away the Valence Electron • Alkali Metals are often stored in oil. The oil keeps the atom from reacting to water and oxygen
Group 2: Alkaline-Earth Metals • Not free in nature • 2 Valence Electrons Qualities • Very Reactive • Silver • Higher Density than Alkali Metals • High Boiling Point • High Melting Point • Ductile • Malleable • Soft • Strong
Explanations: Alkaline-Earth Metals • Alkaline-Earth Metals are very reactive but less reactive than Alkali Metals • They are one of the softest and strongest metals besides Alkali Metals
