dissimilarities of alkaline earth metals and alkali metals

All the carbonates of alkali metals are quite stable towards heat except Li 2 CO 3 , which decomposes easily on heating. The instability of Li 2 CO 3 is due to the small size of lithium ion, which cannot stabilize the bigger carbonate ion. The carbonates of alkaline ..

As alkaline Earth metals have low ionization energies and high electropositive character, they are very reactive and have a strong tendency to lose valence electrons, though less than alkali metals. The reactivity of these elements increases on goin..

The six elements belonging to group 1 of the periodic table, namely lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr) are called alkali metals. They constitute alkali metals because they readily dissolve in water to form h..

occupy the groups on the left of periodic table and are largely classified as alkali metals (group IA) alkaline earth metals (group IIA) and transition metals (elements between group IIA and IIIA) Metals and non-metals ..

Because of low ionization energies, alkaline earth metals are reasonably electropositive in nature; among the family members the electropositive character in general increases from Be to Ba. The alkaline Earth metals are not as strongly e..

Nitrogen reacts with less electropositive such as magnesium, calcium etc., at higher temperatures, with boron and aluminium at red heat, and with silicon at white heat (very high temperature) to form the corresponding nitrides. ..
