Question:
Among alkaline earth metals, metal with least melting point is:
Among alkaline earth metals, metal with least melting point is:
Show Hint
Melting point trend in Group 2: decreases down the group.
Heavier atoms → weaker metallic bonds.
Updated On: Oct 27, 2025
- Be
- Sr
- Mg
- Ba
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
• Melting points in group 2: Be > Mg > Ca > Sr > Ba.
• Ba is largest atom, metallic bonding weakest → lowest melting point.
• Ba is largest atom, metallic bonding weakest → lowest melting point.
