Answer:

The outermost electrons of the alkaline earth metals (group 2) are more difficult to remove than the outer electron of the alkali metals, leading to the group 2 metals being less reactive than those in group 1. These elements easily form compounds in which the metals exhibit an oxidation state of 2+

Answer:

false

Explanation:

as we move down the first group,the reactivity decrease because of the decrease in ionisation energy......but in second group elements the ionisation energy is high because of the half filled configuration.

However when we compare the ionisation energy from top to bottom....it decreases...due to the increase in size leading to decreased ionisation potential but as compared to first group elements it is less
