base in my experience.... because of the gravity of the earth...
Both Group IA and IIA elements have low ionization energies because they have one or two valence electrons that are easily removed. Group IA elements have a lower ionization energy compared to Group IIA elements due to the increased distance from the nucleus and increased shielding effect in Group IA.
The elements in Group IIA on the periodic table are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). These elements are alkaline earth metals and share similar chemical properties.
Magnesium belongs to Group 2 (or Group IIA) in the periodic table. It is part of the alkaline earth metals group, which includes elements such as beryllium, calcium, strontium, and barium.

Beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium are the group IIA elements.
There is none. All of the elements in group/family in group IIA/2 are solids at room temperature.

The elements in Group IIA on the periodic table are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). These elements are alkaline earth metals and share similar chemical properties.
The charge for all elements in Group 2A is +2.
The atomic size increases as you move down the Group IIA elements from Be to Ra. This trend is due to the increase in the number of electron shells as you move down the group, leading to greater atomic radius.
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.
Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.
When an element in Group IIA (such as calcium or magnesium) reacts with an element in VIIA (such as fluorine or chlorine), they form ionic compounds. The Group IIA element will lose electrons to the Group VIIA element, creating ions with opposite charges that attract each other to form a stable compound. These ionic compounds are typically white solids at room temperature.
When group IIA elements lose their valence electrons, they form cations with a +2 charge and have the same electron configuration as the nearest noble gas in the periodic table, which is group VIIIA (noble gases).
Magnesium belongs to Group 2 (or Group IIA) in the periodic table. It is part of the alkaline earth metals group, which includes elements such as beryllium, calcium, strontium, and barium.
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
