list of chemistry mnemonics
the alkaline earth metals are all silver-colored and soft, and have relatively low densities, melting points, and boiling points. in chemical terms, all of the alkaline earth metals react with the halogens to form the alkaline earth metal halides, all of which are ionic crystalline compounds (except for beryllium chloride, which is covalent). all the alkaline earth metals except beryllium also react with water to form strongly alkaline hydroxides and, thus, should be handled with great care. the heavier alkaline earth metals react more vigorously than the lighter ones. the alkaline earth metals have the second-lowest first ionization energies in their respective periods of the periodic table because of their somewhat low effective nuclear charges and the ability to attain a full outer shell configuration by losing just two electrons. the second ionization energy of all of the alkaline metals is also somewhat low.
