The group 2 of elements (alkaline earth metals) in the periodic table of Mendeleev contain beryllium, calcium, magnesium, strontium, barium and radium.
Elements in group 2 except beryllium react violently with mineral acids. They react with water considerably fast and lower elements may even cause explosions. Some of their salts including oxalates and phosphates are insoluble in water.
Beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium are the group IIA elements.
All of the elements in group 2 are reactive.

No, it is not. The most reactive element is would be francium. The most reactive element that can be gathered in any appreciable quantity is cesium.
Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.
Hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium are the elements located in group 1 of the periodic table.
The reactivity of francium with water would be more reactive than most of the other alkali metals, because the lower down the column of alkali metals you go in the periodic table the more reactive the element becomes in cold water. Therefore, if francium was to react with cold water it would react by giving off an explosion.
more reactive
No, lithium is very reactive metal and you would expect it find it as one of the ions ion present in minerals.
Fluorine is the most reactive element.
The Zinc Family also known as group IIB is the second least reactive I believe. The least reactive family is the one with a full p sublevel, the noble gases, the next least reactive would be the family with a full d sublevel. Since group IIB has a full d sublevel, it must be the next least reactive family.
Caesium is the 5th element in group I of the periodic table. It is an alkali metal, and they become more reactive as you go down the group from lithium to sodium to potassium etc. So we would expect that caesium is highly reactive, even more reactive than rubidium.
Down a group the reactivity increases. So, barium (Ba) is more reactive than strontium (Sr).
It would be less reactive because the effective nuclear charge of the alkali-metals is lower than that of group 13. The result is that the valence electron is easier to attract/ionize to form bonds.
Fluorine would be more reactive. Fluorine is the most reactive element.
