Let me write this out, alkaline earth metals.

让我写下来，碱土金属。

Next, you have the alkaline earth metals - reactive metals, but not as reactive as the alkali metals, forming cations with two positive charges instead of just one.

接下来，你有碱土金属 - 活泼金属， 但不碱金属那样活泼，形成带有两个正电荷而不是一个正电荷的阳离子。

If we move one over to the right this group two right over here, these are called the alkaline earth metals.

如果我们向右移动一格到这个第二族，这些元素被称为碱土金属。

The first two columns on the left are your alkali metals, and your alkaline earth metals.

左边的前两列分别是你的碱金属和碱土金属。
