They have "ium" in their name.
They all have the same chemical properties.
Beryllium, Calcium or any other element within the same family or group (vertical column on the periodic table)
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
Strontium is chemically very similar to Calcium. The human body will readily use Strontium as bone-making material, but Strontium does not satisfy the other uses the human body has for Calcium e.g. regulating calcium content in blood, etc.
The chemical properties of calcium are most similar to (in between) the chemical properties of magnesium and strontium.
Calcium shares properties with Magnesium and Strontium.
They have "ium" in their name.
Strontium and iodine are very different chemical elements.
They all have the same chemical properties.
Astatine is a heavy halogen; no similarities with strontium (alkaline earth metal).
Beryllium, Calcium or any other element within the same family or group (vertical column on the periodic table)
Magnesium is a metallic element with chemical properties similar to calcium.
Both metals can lose two electrons and both metals form ions with a 2+ charge.
elements in each group of the periodic table have identical chemical properties as they have the same no. of valence electrons which determines their chemical properties. since calcium is in group II of the periodic table, it has the same chemical properties as the elements in group II. Elements in group II consists of: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra Elements in the same group has different physical properties such as boiling and melting points. However there are trends of their physical properties down the group.
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
Magnesium is a metallic element with chemical properties similar to calcium.
