Answer:

It is an Alkaline Earth Metal

Step-by-step explanation:

Metallic bonding results from the delocalization of electrons from the parent metal atom so that positive ions are conceived to swim in a sea of electrons. This view of metallic bonding accounts for the malleability, and ductility of metals, as well as their properties of thermal and electrical conduction.
