Alkaline earth metals are truly a very interesting group of elements, that have relatively similar properties, as many other elements within the same group have. The chemistry of these compounds is very similar. The following elements form the mentioned group (also known as group 2 in the periodic table of elements): berlyllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), stroncium (Sr), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra).

There are many interesting groups of substances in the science of chemistry. The largest group of substances is based on a single element that we know as carbon. Since an entire branch of chemistry, known as organic chemistry is actually based on this element, in this article we will mostly write about carbon as a very interesting and also important chemical element.
