The family name is 2A or IIA.
(Answer Improvement) 2A is really the same thing as group 2 above in the question. The family name for this group is "alkaline earth metals".
Family. Apex
The name given to group 7 elements in the Periodic table are halogens.
Pretty much any Group 1(Alkali metals) and Group 2(Alkaline Earth Metal) will form a salt when bonded with a nonmetal(right hand side of periodic table). Some transition metals also make salts.
The oxidation number for group 2 elements is typically +2. These elements have 2 valence electrons that they can lose to form a 2+ cation.
There are 18 groups in the modern periodic table. Elements in group 1 are also known as alkali metals. Elements in group 2 are also known as alkali earth metals. Elements in group 17 are also known as halogens (salt makers). Elements in group 18 are also known as noble gases.
Group 2 Alkali Earth metals

There is none. All of the elements in group/family in group IIA/2 are solids at room temperature.
group 13, period 2
The name given to group 7 elements in the Periodic table are halogens.
Alkali-earth metals
Pretty much any Group 1(Alkali metals) and Group 2(Alkaline Earth Metal) will form a salt when bonded with a nonmetal(right hand side of periodic table). Some transition metals also make salts.
Transition metal group,that is between group 2 and 3
The group 2 elements are called Alkaline Earth metals. They are as follows:BerylliumMagnesiumCalciumStrontiumBariumRadiumhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_earth_metal
Beryllium and magnesium belong to the alkaline earth metals family of elements. They are located in group 2 of the periodic table.
The combining ratio between elements in group 2 (alkaline earth metals) and elements in group 15 (nitrogen family) is typically 3:2. For example, magnesium oxide (MgO) forms when one atom of magnesium (group 2) combines with one atom of oxygen (group 16), resulting in a 1:1 ratio.
group 2 elements are alkaline elements.one of the element in d group is berrylium
