Since Group 2 alkali earth metals have 2 valence electrons, they tend to lose those 2 when forming ionic bonds. And the Loss of Electrons = Oxidation (L.E.O. for short). Therefore this group, including Mg and Ca, have an oxidation of [+2].
So the correct answer is C) +2
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Look on the x-axis for the tick marked "60". This indicates 60 degrees Celsius, which we want. Now, look on the y-axis for the tick marked "60". This indicates 60 grams of
. Trace along the graph to find where these two places meet at (60, 60).
Now, look for the solubility curve of
; it's the yellow-orange line. Find out what the y-coordinate of the point where x = 60 is on the line: it's around (60, 65).
So, since the point (60, 60) is below the line corresponding to this substance,
is unsaturated.
The answer is B.
