The charge for all elements in Group 2A is +2.
They form cations. They possess charge of +2.
These elements (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra) are bivalent metals.
The symbol "IIA" is obsolete for groups; use only "2" - after IUPAC rules.
There is none. All of the elements in group/family in group IIA/2 are solids at room temperature.
The second column from the left end of the table (Group IIA) consists solely of reactive elements, each with a charge of 2+. These are the Alkaline Earth Metals.
Carbonate has a negative two charge (CO32-). Group 1 elements have a plus 1 charge, and group II elements have a plus 2 charge. In order balance the reaction so that the charge is balanced, the stoichiometry comes out 1 to 2 for Group 1 and 1 to 1 for the Group II.See the Related Questions for more information about balanced reactions and stoichiometry.
Increases from top to bottom.
This is different for each period of group IIA in the P.T.Examples:Be in period 2 has 4 electrons, Ca in p.4 has 20and Ra in p.7 (down under in P.T.) has 88 electrons.The whole row: 4, 12, 20, 38, 56, 88 electrons, from top to bottom in group IIA
base in my experience.... because of the gravity of the earth...
There is none. All of the elements in group/family in group IIA/2 are solids at room temperature.
Beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium are the group IIA elements.

Group 2 (IIA) - Alkaline earth metals: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra ns2
The ONLY liquid elements (at STP) areMercury, Hg, in group 12Bromine, Br, in group 17Notations like ia, iia, ib or iib are not commonly in use, maybe in older books or periodic tables.

The charge of group 7A elements when forming ions is -1 (negative 1).
2(IIA) Because The elements in Group 2 (IIA) are metals with a +2 oxidation state. Thus one atom of a Group 2 metal can combine with 2 atoms of chlorine (oxidation state = -1)
