The element in period 4 group 2A is calcium (Ca).
Group 2A elements (alkaline earth metals) tend to lose two electrons to form 2+ ions. This is because they have two valence electrons and tend to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to noble gases by losing those two electrons.
Cat-ion
They would form an ionic compound.
Magnesia is not an element but magnesium is in group 2A
Barium (Ba) will typically have a +2 charge as it is a group 2A element.
Group 2A * Known as Alkaline earth elements * All are metals * Occur only in compounds * React with oxygen in the general formula EO (where O is oxygen and E is Group 2A element)
The symbol of the element in period 4 and group 2A is Ca, which stands for Calcium. It is a reactive alkaline earth metal with atomic number 20.
The empirical formula for the compound between x and y would be xy. Since x is in group 2a and y is in group 7a, their charges would be 2+ and 7-, respectively. To balance the charges, one x would combine with three y to form the compound with the formula XY3.
One example of a block element that is not located in group 1A or group 2A in the periodic table is carbon, which is a p-block element. Carbon is located in group 4A (14) of the periodic table and is known for its diverse bonding properties, forming a wide range of compounds.
The element in the 3rd period and 2nd group of the periodic table is magnesium (Mg).
