Answer:
Metal
Element: Calcium
Valency: 2
Explanation:
To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)
We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.
Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right
We end up at Calcium.
Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.
Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
The correct answer is higher melting point, bound by metal metal bonds.
While alkali metals only have one valence electron, alkaline earth metals have two. Metal to metal connections hold the metals together. Alkaline earth metals have a stronger metallic connection and a higher melting point because they have two valence electrons.
the characteristics that Group 2 metals excel in over Group 1 metals.
- Initial Ionization Potential
- Group 2 items are more difficult than group 1 elements.
- Strong propensity to produce bivalent compounds
As a result, group 2 metals have stronger metallic bonding, which leads to increased cohesive energy and compact atom packing. This explains why group 2 metals are harder and have higher melting and boiling temperatures than group 1 metals.

Answer:
0.75 cal/g°c
Explanation:
for specific heat we have formula:
Amount of heat absorbed or released = mass x specific heat of a substance x change in temperature.
ΔQ=m x c x ΔT
where c= specific heat
m= mass of a substance
ΔT = total temperature
ΔQ = Amount of heat
so for specific heat,
c= ΔQ/mxΔT
c= 280/25x (25-10)
c= 280/375
c= 0.75 cal/g°c
