This element is strontium (Sr).
atoms in the same group are similar. calcium is in group 2, so it's similar to Be, Mg, Sr, Ba and Ra. Most similar would be Mg or Sr, which are right above and below. all group 2 atoms share a similar electron configuration
Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.
Beryllium, Calcium or any other element within the same family or group (vertical column on the periodic table)
the elements that lie in the group in which magnesium lies will repeat the properties of magnesium.
The boiling point would be higher!
Calcium
Calcium shares properties with Magnesium and Strontium.
Magnesium is a metallic element with chemical properties similar to calcium.
It has similar properties to the element with proton number 20, which is calcium.

Magnesium is a metallic element with chemical properties similar to calcium.
Beryllium (Be). This is because on the periodic table Be is located in the same group (column) as Calcium and is the highest element in that column. Elements of the same group have similar properties and their masses decrease the higher they are in the group.

Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.
Beryllium, Calcium or any other element within the same family or group (vertical column on the periodic table)
All you have to do is look at which group Beryllium is in and look at the other elements that are in the same column. The gruop of an element can help you determine its chemical properties. That group would be Group 2 with Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.
No, the chemical properties of calcium and bromine are not similar. The melting point for Calcium is 8390C, bromine's is -7.250C. Calcium's boiling point is 1484°C, bromine's is 58.750C. etc. Calcium is a silvery white, soft alkaline earth metal. Although none of the alkaline earths occur free in nature, calcium compounds are abundant. Bromine is a reddish-brown liquid, and it has a metallic luster in solid form.
