Both Ca and Sr are in Group 2 of the Periodic Table, with Sr below Ca (see image)..

<em>Ionization energies </em>

They are both metals, so they have relatively <em>low ionization energies</em>.

Sr is below Ca in the Group, so Sr has the lower ionization energy.

<em>Electron configurations </em>

Their electron configurations both end in <em>ns²</em>.

For example, the electron configuration of Ca is [Kr]<em>4s²</em> and that of Sr is [Kr]<em>5s²</em>.

<em>Physical chsrscteristics: </em>

  • metallic lustre
  • malleable
  • ductile
  • good conductors of heat and electricity

<em>Chemical characteristics</em>

Both metals react with

• <em>Hydrogen</em> to form hydrides: M + H₂ ⟶ MH₂

• <em>Oxygen</em> to form oxides: 2M + O₂ ⟶ 2MO

• <em>Nitrogen</em> to form nitrides: 3M + N₂ ⟶ M₃N₂

• <em>Halogens</em> to form halides: M + X₂ ⟶ MX₂

• <em>Water</em> to displace hydrogen: M + 2H₂O ⟶ M(OH)₂ + H₂

What type of solvent would be required to dissolve nonpolar compounds?
mina [271]
For example, ionic compounds, which are very polar, are often soluble in the polar solvent water. Nonpolar substances are likely to dissolve in nonpolar solvents. For example, nonpolar molecular substances are likely to dissolve in hexane, a common nonpolar solvent.
