b) Mg
c) Ra
d) Ca

Answer 1

The most electronegative alkaline earth element is a) Be (Berillyum)

Definition of Alkaline earth metals:

The alkaline earth metals are a collection of six chemical elements in group 2 of the periodic chart. The elements are all glossy, silvery-white, and somewhat reactive metals at normal temperature and pressure.

Alkaline earth metals:

• At normal temperature and pressure, the elements have extremely similar characteristics: they are all lustrous, silvery-white, and moderately reactive metals.
• Beryllium is a very rare metal that is almost never discovered in pure form. It is a member of the alkaline earth metals group, which is found in the second column of the periodic table.
• Beryllium, in its natural state, is a strong but brittle metal.

Then the most electronegative alkaline earth element is a) Be
