Question

Name two dements that you would expect to have chemical properties
Mg What is the basis for your choice?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Solution. Calcium (Ca) and strontium (Sr) are expected to show chemical reactions similar to magnesium (Mg). This is because the number of valence electrons (2) is same in all these three elements and since chemical properties are due to valence electrons, they show same chemical reactions.

ACCORDING TO ME,

Magnesium and Beryllium because they have same valency and lie in same group of periodic table. They have same properties and are Alkaline Earth Metals. Probably magnesium the most because chemical reactivity nearly same. They are metals and their oxides are basic in nature.

Answer 2

Answer:

Calcium (Ca) and strontium (Sr) are expected to show chemical reactions similar to magnesium (Mg). This is because the number of valence electrons (2) is same in all these three elements. And since chemical properties are due to valence electrons, they show same chemical reactions.
