Answer:
Magnesium and calcium belong to the second group i. e. alkaline earth metals. They are known as earth metals because they are extracted from the earth. They are very reactive elements. Their reactivity increases when we go from top to bottom because the outermost electrons goes farther from the nucleus i. e. atomic radius increases so less energy is needed for its removal.
Answer:
Water is a polar solvent
Explanation:
We must know that pure dry hydrogen chloride gas does not show any acidic property.
In fact, when hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water, it breaks up into H3O^+ ions and Cl^- ions. This is possible because water is a polar solvent and assists the ionization of HCl.
In nonpolar solvents such as benzene, hydrogen chloride gas is not ionized hence it does not show any acidic property in a benzene solution.
Yes because they atom with a stable octet electrons is less reactive it does not need any more electrons while an atom that has an partially filled electrons need more electrons to complete octet structure
