Identify the group of alkaline earth metals in the periodic table. They belong to Group 2.
Recall that the group number for main-group elements corresponds to the number of valence electrons for those elements.
Since alkaline earth metals are in Group 2, they have 2 valence electrons.
Understand that valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and determine chemical reactivity.
Therefore, alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
