5 page document which follows the AQA specification closely with detailed notes and easy to understand language while still covering the key information you need to know about Group 2 alkaline Earth Metals. I talk about the physical properties (including trends in ionisation energies, atomic radius, melting points and reactivity) of group 2 metals, their reactions with water, solubility of hydroxides and sulfates, uses of group 2 compounds and testing for presence of a sulphate ion.
