AI Generated Solution

To answer the question regarding the members of the alkaline earth metals family, we will analyze each part step by step. ### (i) Least Reactivity 1. **Identify the Group**: Alkaline earth metals belong to Group 2 of the periodic table, which includes Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), and Barium (Ba). 2. **Understand Reactivity Trend**: Reactivity in alkaline earth metals increases down the group due to increasing atomic size and decreasing ionization energy. 3. **Determine the Least Reactive Element**: Since Beryllium is the smallest in size and has the highest ionization energy, it holds onto its electrons more tightly than the others, making it the least reactive. **Answer**: Beryllium (Be) has the least reactivity. ...
