Question

Name two elements you would expect to show chemical reaction similar to magnesium. What is the basis of your choice?

Answer 1

calcium and strontium

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.
