Vedclass · Answer

(A) Alkaline earth metals have a general valence shell configuration of $ns^2$. In their compounds,they exist as dipositive ions $(M^{2+})$ by losing two electrons. These $M^{2+}$ ions have a noble gas configuration where all electrons are paired. Due to the presence of all paired electrons,the compounds of alkaline earth metals are diamagnetic in nature.
