Their [[electron configuration]]s should have the 8s orbital being filled. This orbital is relativistically stabilized and contracted; thus, elements 119 and 120 should be more like [[rubidium]] and [[strontium]] than their immediate neighbours above, [[francium]] and [[radium]]. Another effect of the relativistic contraction of the 8s orbital is that the [[atomic radius|atomic radii]] of these two elements should be about the same as those of francium and radium. They should behave like normal [[alkali metal|alkali]] and [[alkaline earth metal]]s (albeit less reactive than their immediate vertical neighbours), normally forming +1 and +2 [[oxidation state]]s, respectively, but the relativistic destabilization of the 7p<sub>3/2</sub> subshell and the relatively low [[ionization energy|ionization energies]] of the 7p<sub>3/2</sub> electrons should make higher oxidation states like +3 and +4 (respectively) possible as well.<ref name="Fricke"/><ref name=Haire>{{cite book| title=The Chemistry of the Actinide and Transactinide Elements| editor1-last=Morss|editor2-first=Norman M.| editor2-last=Edelstein| editor3-last=Fuger|editor3-first=Jean| last1=Hoffman|first1=Darleane C. |last2=Lee |first2=Diana M. |last3=Pershina |first3=Valeria |chapter=Transactinides and the future elements| publisher= [[Springer Science+Business Media]]| year=2006| isbn=978-1-4020-3555-5| location=Dordrecht, The Netherlands| edition=3rd| ref=CITEREFHaire2006}}</ref>
