Alkaline earth metals have only two electrons in their outermost shell.
Alkaline earth metals have relatively low ionization energies for their first two electrons; because of this, alkaline earth metals exist with a 2+ charge most of the time.
When alkaline earth metal oxides are placed in water, the resulting product is basic.
Alkaline earth metals react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds.
They are Not found freely in nature.
They have High boiling points.
And High melting points.
Low density.
