The Group 2 alkaline earth metals include Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Barium, Strontium and Radium and are soft, silver metals that are less metallic in character than the Group 1 Alkali Metals.

The metalloids are B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, and Po. In period 2, the elements left of the metalloid, boron, are lithium and beryllium.

Period 2 is the first period in the periodic table from which periodic trends can be drawn. All period 2 elements completely obey the Madelung rule; in period 2, lithium and beryllium fill the 2s subshell, and boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon fill the 2p subshell.

The metalloids; boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), polonium (Po) and astatine (At) are the elements found along the step like line between metals and non-metals of the periodic table….Metalloids.

Physical Properties of Period 2 Elements The elements on the right, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon all have low melting points and are all non-metals.
