Question

what is the cause for placing calcium in II A group of modern periodic table?​

Answer 1

It is known that all the elements of group 2A tend to show valency of +2. As the atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8, 2.

And, in order to attain stability it loses two electrons and hence, acquires a general electronic configuration similar to alkaline earth metals that is, ns^{2}.

Therefore, calcium shows properties similar to the properties displayed by elements of group 2A.

Thus, we can conclude that 2 valence electrons is the cause for placing calcium in IIA group of modern periodic table

Answer 2

Answer : -

• It is known that all the elements of group 2A tend to show valency of +2. ... Therefore, calcium shows properties similar to the properties displayed by elements of group 2A. Thus, we can conclude that 2 valence electrons is the cause for placing calcium in IIA group of modern periodic table.
