Passage
The alkaline-earth metals are a highly reactive family of metals occupying Group 2 (IIA) of the periodic table.  In their elemental form, the alkaline-earth metals have a shiny, silvery-white to slightly yellowish appearance.  The alkaline-earth metals exhibit some similarities to the chemistry of the alkali metals (Group 1) but are a little less reactive.Atoms of the alkaline-earth metals (M) have only two valence electrons and a low first and second ionization energy.  Consequently, these metals readily lose both electrons to produce cations with a +2 charge (M+2) during reactions with nonmetals.  As a result, the alkaline-earth metals do not exist in their elemental metallic form in nature.  Instead, the Group 2 elements are found primarily as metal oxides, which form by reacting oxygen (Reaction 1) .

Similarly, elemental samples of alkaline-earth metals will react with elemental halogens (X<sub>2</sub>) to form metal halides (Reaction 2) , all of which are ionic except for BeCl<sub>2</sub>. Except for beryllium, the alkaline-earth metals react with water to produce very basic metal hydroxide solutions and hydrogen gas (Reaction 3) . The most difficult alkaline-earth metal to study is radium, because it is a rare radioactive element that is produced from the nuclear decay of uranium.  The most common natural isotope, radium-226, has a half-life of 1,600 years and decays by alpha emission into radon-222 (Reaction 4) . -Which expression correctly describes the equilibrium constant K<sub>eq</sub> for the formation of Compound <strong>2</strong> from the intermediate? A) K<sub>eq</sub> < 1 B) K<sub>eq</sub> = 0 C) K<sub>eq</sub> > 1 D) K<sub>eq</sub> = ΔG°
Similarly, elemental samples of alkaline-earth metals will react with elemental halogens (X2) to form metal halides (Reaction 2) , all of which are ionic except for BeCl2.
