1.Generally IIA group elements are soft but when compared to IA group elements these are hardthan the IA group elements .

2In IIA group elements metalic bonding is strong compared to IA elements and 2 valence electrons are present in IIA group elements .

3.Because of the difference in the metalic bonding IIA group elements are harder than the IA

group elements.

IA and IIA differ from the other Group A elements because they are so to be called metals... IA is the Alkali metals and IIA is the Alkaline Earth Metals.

Because IA and IIA can hold only two elements that is why period 1 has only two elements

What block of elements on the periodic table will oxidize or lose elements?

They lose electrons, not elements. These are metals. Group I metals (IA or alkali metals), Group 2 metals (IIA or alkaline earth metals), transition metals (groups 3 thru 12), and all other metals.


What element would you expect to behave the most like calcium?

Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.


Which group contains an element that is liquid at stp ia iia ib or iib?

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.


How many electrons do the elements in group IA of the periodic table have in their electron dot diagrams?

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


What are the main group elements of the periodic table?

Main group elements have elements from groups 1 and 2, except hydrogen and groups 13 to 18. Main group elements are elements in groups who's lightest elements are shown by helium, lithium, boron, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.


Element M is a metal and its chloride has the formula MCl2 To which group of the Periodic Table does element M most likely belong?

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)
