hey everyone i need to understand this. anybody want to help me? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 168.37.196.2 (talk • contribs) 14:28, 5 November 2003 (UTC).
What is development of alkaline earth metal? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.213.139.128 (talk • contribs) 11:24, 8 August 2004 (UTC).
I don't understand your question. Do you mean that you have a homework assignment that says "Describe the development of alkaline earth metals" or something like that? If so, the answer is "It depends what you mean by 'development'." -- Heron 15:55, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Magnesium
Magnesium will react with hot water, liberating hydrogen, I have done it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.10.127.58 (talk • contribs) 14:22, 10 August 2005 (UTC).
Did you do it at 1atm? At 1 atm Magnesium metal only reacts with steam (hot water vapor from boiling) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.93.214.8 (talk • contribs) 02:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC).
[edit] Uses for the Family/Group
Ok. I am doing some homework & need to know some uses for alkaline earth metals. I already have a few like glass (Si), but I really do not have enough for the project. {In other words -- HELP}—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 07:93, 6 November 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Chemistry Lab Question
Why does the metallic character of the alkaline earth metals increase as you go down the group?
