Which Group is in the second column of the periodic table? O A. Noble gases
O B. Alkaline earth metals
O C. Alkali metals
O D. Halogens

O B. Alkaline earth metals

Explanation:

Noble gases → 8th column.

Alkali metal → first column.

Halogen → 7th

B. Alkaline earth metals

Explanation:

Alkaline-earth metals: The alkaline-earth metals make up Group 2 of the periodic table, from beryllium (Be) through radium (Ra). Each of these elements has two electrons in its outermost energy level, which makes the alkaline earths reactive enough that they're rarely found alone in nature. But they're not as reactive as the alkali metals. Their chemical reactions typically occur more slowly and produce less heat compared to the alkali metals.
