The Group II elements are powerful reducing agents.
A reducing agent is the compound that gets oxidised in the reaction and, therefore, loses electrons.
M = Mg, Ca, Sr,Ba --> I will be using 'M' as the general symbol for a Group II element in this topic.
e.g.
As I said earlier, they are powerful reducing agents. M(s) ----> M2+(aq) + 2e-
A reducing agent 'loses electrons'.
Another term for Group II elements are Alkaline Earth Metals
All Group II elements have 2 electrons in their outer shell. They generally lose these two outershell electrons in order to react and, by doing so, they form M2+ ions.
