Questions and Answers

Which property is shared by both alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?

  • They are hard and brittle
  • They are poor conductors of heat and electricity
  • They are soft and malleable (correct)
  • They are highly unreactive

    • What is the key difference between the reactivity of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?
