Here's a table showing the melting and boiling points of the common alkaline earth metals:
| Metal | Symbol | Melting Point (°C) | Boiling Point (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beryllium | Be | 1278 | 2471 |
| Magnesium | Mg | 650 | 1090 |
| Calcium | Ca | 842 | 1484 |
| Strontium | Sr | 777 | 1382 |
| Barium | Ba | 725 | 1640 |
| Radium | Ra | 700 | 1140 |
General Trends:
* Melting Point: Increases as you go down the group. This is due to the larger atomic size and increased metallic bonding.
* Boiling Point: Also increases as you go down the group. The stronger metallic bonding makes it harder to break the bonds and vaporize the metal.
