1. | These elements are silver-colored solids. |
2. | They are also reactive with water but less so than group one elements. |
3. | They have 2 valence electrons. |
4. | Similar to group one elements they readily bond with other elements. However in this case they transfer their two valence electrons to become stable ions with full other orbitals. |
5. | Elements get more reactive as you go down the group. |
6. | Radium is the most reactive and its also hazardous. |
