It depends on your definition of hydrolysis - it usually means the splitting of a large molecule into two smaller molecules upon the addition of water. It's impossible to split the atom of an alkaline earth metal (using water). |

"Hydrolysis" can also refer to the splitting of a water molecule -- as in electrohydrolysis. The question would benefit from careful restatement in any case. |

The heaviest earthalkali metals are those that are hydrolyzed easiest; so the answer would be Barium (Radium). http://www.webelements.com/webelements/elements/text/Ba/key.html :) Arsenic |
