Answer:

The alkaline-earth metals tend to lose two electrons to form M 2+ ions (Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and so on). These metals are less reactive than the neighboring alkali metal. Magnesium is less active than sodium; calcium is less active than potassium; and so on. These metals become more active as we go down the column.

Answer: According to the reactivity of metals Sodium is the second metal while Magneesium is the fourth metal. The metal in the top of the reactivity serise table are more reactive.

<em>(The series obtained by the arrangement of metals in the decending oder of their  reactivity is the REACTIVITY SERIES TABLE)</em>

Explanation:

K

<u><em>Na</em></u>

Ca

<u><em>Mg</em></u>

Al

Zn

Fe

Sn

Pb

H

Cu

Hg

Ag

Pt

Au

Therefore Sodium is more reactive than Magnesium

Solid silver chloride, AgCI(s), decomposes to its elements when exposed to sunlight Write a balanced equation for this reaction
Mrac [35]

Answer: The coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

Decomposition of silver chloride is represented as:

2AgCl(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cl_2(g)

Thus the coefficient in front of AgCl when the equation is properly balanced is 2.

Among the alkali earth metals, the tendency to react with other substances
tatyana61 [14]
Answer: option <span>A) increases from bottom to top within the group.

Explanation:

</span>It is a known trend that the metallic character of the elements increase from let to right and from top to bottom.

The greater the metallic character the greater the reactivity of the metal.

So, the elements of the columns 1 and 2 are the most reactive metals and among them the elements at the bottom are yet more reactive.

<span>The higher reactivity of the metals that are lower in the periodic table is attributed to the greater total number of electrons.

The greater the total number of electrons the more reactive the metals as their outermost electrons (the valence electrons which are those that react) are located further from the nucleus and therefore they are held less strongly, which makes them react more easily.</span>
