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.


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).


What group of the periodic table has a 2 plus charge and is reactive?

Group 2 elements of the periodic table have a 2+ charge and are reactive. These elements include beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. They readily form 2+ cations by losing two electrons in chemical reactions.


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.


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.

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 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.

Why are two atoms of group IA and one atom of group IIA needed to react with carbonate?

Carbonate has a negative two charge (CO32-). Group 1 elements have a plus 1 charge, and group II elements have a plus 2 charge. In order balance the reaction so that the charge is balanced, the stoichiometry comes out 1 to 2 for Group 1 and 1 to 1 for the Group II.See the Related Questions for more information about balanced reactions and stoichiometry.


The atomic charges of each group?

There's no charge within the atom of each group since there is a same number of electrons (negatively charged) and protons ( positively charged). The charge does not change unless after ionic bonding. The atomic charge changes depending on the reaction.


What Is magnesium 's Group?

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.


How many electrons do the elements in group IA of the periodic table have in their electron dot diagrams?

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


Elements in Group IIA (also known as Group 2 or the alkaline earth metals) have similar properties because they all have the same number of .?
