Alkaline Earth Metals
APPLICATIONS
Radium
vin the late 1800s, radium was used for medical therapies and to make glow-in-the-dark clocks and watches.
-
Most of the elements are form in including fireworks, batteries, flashbulbs, and special alloys

-
Beryllium
is useful in radiology because X-rays can pass through beryllium, making it appear transparent.
