Answer:

Group 2 elements are located on the left side of the periodic table and are often referred to as alkaline earth metals because they form an alkaline solution with water, are found naturally in the earth, and are metals. This group includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium.

Answer:Group 2 contains soft, silver metals that are less metallic in character than the Group 1 elements. Although many characteristics are common throughout the group, the heavier metals such as Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra are almost as reactive as the Group 1 Alkali Metals. All the elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their valence shells, giving them an oxidation state of +2. This enables the metals to easily lose electrons, which increases their stability and allows them to form compounds via ionic bonds.
