Alkali metals include such chemical elements as sodium, francium, lithium, potassium, rubidium and caesium. Alkaline earth metals encompass such chemical elements as radium, strontium, magnesium, barium, beryllium and calcium. Both groups of metals do not occur naturally in their pure form given their high reactivity.
Alkali and alkaline earth metals are representatives of S-block elements. Furthermore, both groups of metals have the similar outer electronic configuration and properties. The alkalis are ductile and malleable; acts as perfect heat and electricity conductors. The alkaline earth metals possess the following features: low electro negativities and electron affinities, smaller atomic radii if compared to alkalies. Alkalies and alkaline earths are used in the production of alloys, fertilizers and machinery parts as well as in construction, electronics, consumer goods industries, etc.
