Is MgO an acidic oxide?
No. Like the other oxides of alkaline earth metals, it is basic. MgO + H2O --> Mg(OH)2
What is the most abundant element in the earth?
The most abundant element on earth is Oxygen. But due to its high reactivity, most oxygen occurs in combined state, generally in oxides.
What is the family name that calcium is in?
Group 2 (alkaline earth metals): lithium, sodium, potassium, caesium, rubidium, francium.
Are oxides soluble?
All oxides are generally insoluble except for oxides of group I metals (alkali earth metals).
What is the group of alkaline earth metals?
Group 2 contains the alkaline earth metals
Which are products of the alkaline and earth alkaline metals combustion?
Alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals form their oxides when burnt. These oxides are base.
What is the oxidation number of oxygen (O) in the compound H2O?
The oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in compounds is usually +2.
Oxides react with oxygen and water and are used to make paints are some of the properties of which type of metals?
alkaline earth metals
Which of these alkaline earth metal oxides has the greatest percent by mass oxygen 1 barium oxide 2 beryllium oxide 3 calcium oxide 4 magnesium oxide 5 strontium?
2. beryllium oxide. Each oxide contains as many oxygen atoms as alkaline earth metal atoms, and beryllium has the smallest atomic weight of the alkaline earth metals. Therefore, beryllium oxygen has the greatest percentage by weight of oxygen.
What is the oxidation number of the alkiline earth metals?
+2 for alkaline earth metals
What is the oxidation number in Alkaline Earth Metals?
They have +2 O.S.
Why are earth alkali metals called earth alkali metals?
Alkali earth metals are named after their oxides, alkaline earth.
Is oxygen an alkaline earth metal?
No. Oxygen is a nonmetal.
Why is it that the hydrogen placed at the alkali earth metal group?
It is in alkaline group.Not in alkaline earth group.It is in alkaline group because, Hydrogen has maximum oxidation number of +1.It react with Halogens.Displaced by other alkaline metals.
Do Alkali earth metals react with oxygen?
Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
What do you understand by basic oxides?
Basic oxides are those which form bases in water as CaO, [CaO + H2O ----> Ca(OH)2 ], the oxides of Alkali and Alkaline earth metals are basic in nature.
Which group has a plus 2 oxidation number?
Group 2 or alkaline earth metals
