Dear student


Oxides of alkaline earth metals are less basic than corresponding oxides of alkali metals. the oxides dissolve in water to form basic hydroxides and evolve a large amount of heat. The alkaline earth metal hydroxides, are however less basic and less stable than alkali metal hydroxides.

Thanks
