The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium.
- The elements have very similar properties: they are all shiny, silvery-white, somewhat reactive metals, and they are less reactive than the alkali metals at standard temperature and pressure.
- Together with helium, these elements have in common an outer s orbital which is full, that is, this orbital contains its full complement of two electrons, which the alkaline earth metals readily lose to form cations with charge +2, and an oxidation state of +2.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Alkaline earth metal article was read about 94,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
