They are both very reactive because of their low number of valence electrons, they both react with water (with the exception of beryllium oxide), and they form positive ions. They are all metals.

What is the charge for elements in group IIA?

The charge for all elements in Group 2A is +2.


What is liquid in the family IIA?

There is none. All of the elements in group/family in group IIA/2 are solids at room temperature.


Why electron affinity value of IIA group less than those if IIA?

The electron affinity values of Group IIA (alkaline earth metals) are generally lower than those of Group IIA (halogens) due to their electron configurations. Group IIA elements have a filled s subshell, making it energetically unfavorable to gain an additional electron, as they prefer to lose electrons to achieve a stable noble gas configuration. In contrast, Group IIA elements have higher electron affinity values because they have a strong tendency to gain an electron to complete their p subshell, leading to greater stability. Thus, the difference in electron affinity reflects the distinct chemical behaviors and stability preferences of these groups.


What is the trend in atomic size in the series of Group IIA elements Be through Ra?

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.


When all group IIA lose their valence electrons the remaining electrons configurations are the same as for what family of elements?

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).

How do IA and IIA differ the other Group A elements?

base in my experience.... because of the gravity of the earth...


Both Groups IA and IIA have what ionization?

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.

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.


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 are the elements in Group IIA on the periodic table?

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.


What is group A in the periodic table is related to what?

Group A is an obsolete symbol for groups; the old groups IA and IIA contain alkali metals and alkali earth metals.


Which element has its outermost electrons in an S sublevel?

The element with its outermost electrons in an S sublevel is found in Group 1 and Group 2 of the periodic table. These elements have their outermost electrons in the S sublevel before transitioning to the D sublevel in subsequent groups.


What is the trend in atomic size in the series of Group IIA elements Be through Ra?

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.
