What is Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals Properties about?

The s-block elements include the alkali metals (Group 1) and alkaline earth metals (Group 2). 1) The melting and boiling points of alkali metals decrease down the group from Li to Cs, as the size and metallic character increases. Similarly for alkaline earth metals, hardness and melting/boiling points decrease from Be to Ba. 2) The chemical properties of both groups include reactions with air and oxygen that become more exothermic down the groups. Their oxides and hydroxides increase in ionic character,
