Alkaline Earth Metals include the following metals:

-Beryllium ( Be )

-Magnesium ( Mg )

-Calcium ( Ca )

-Strontium ( Sr )

-Barium ( Ba )

-Radium ( Ra )

Alkaline Earth Metals are in fact:

-Luster

-Conductive

-Malleable

-Ductile

-Reactive

Magnesium is the lightest metal that can be used to build things although its use as a structual materials limited since it burns at a relatively low temperature

Calcium is seldom found as a free metal and it is in bones as calcium phosphate

Radium is radioactive
