Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The chemical reactions of calcium (Ca) and strontium (Sr) are predicted to be similar to those of magnesium (Mg). This is due to the fact that all three elements have the same number of valence electrons (2). Since valence electrons are responsible for chemical properties, they exhibit the same chemical reactions.
