Answer:
+2
Explanation:
Alkaline earth metals are present in group 2 of periodic table. There are six elements in second group. Beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.
All have two valance electrons.
Electronic configuration of Beryllium:
Be = [He] 2s²
Electronic configuration of magnesium.
Mg = [Ne] 3s²
Electronic configuration of calcium.
Ca = [Ar] 4s²
Electronic configuration of strontium.
Sr = [Kr] 5s²
Electronic configuration of barium.
Ba = [Xe] 6s²
Electronic configuration of radium.
Ra = [ Rn] 7s²
They are present in group two and have same number of valance electrons (two valance electrons) and show oxidation state +2 by loosing two valance electrons. They also show similar reactivity.
They react with oxygen and form oxide.
2Ba + O₂ → 2BaO
2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO
this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,
BaO + H₂O → Ba(OH)₂
MgO + H₂O → Mg(OH)₂
CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂
With sulfur,
Mg + S → MgS
Ca + S → CaS
Ba + S → BaS
Answer:
Option A. Double Replacement
Explanation:
A double displacement reaction is a kind of reaction in which there is an exchange of the ions of the two reactants to form a different products. In the equation, K in KOH displaces H in H3PO4 to form K3PO4 and also, the H combines with OH to form water.
H3PO4+3KOH -> K3PO4+3H20
Reduction. B is the correct answer
This is called a convection current
