Question

write a note on combustion of alkaline earth metals​

Answer 1

Answer:

Structurally, they (together with helium) have in common an outer s-orbital which is full;[2][3][4] that is, this orbital contains its full complement of two electrons, which the alkaline earth metals readily lose to form cations with charge +2, and an oxidation state of +2.[5]

All the discovered alkaline earth metals occur in nature, although radium occurs only through the decay chain of uranium and thorium and not as a primordial element.[6] There have been experiments, all unsuccessful, to try to synthesize element 120, the next potential member of the group.
