a) Group 2 elements have 2 electrons on their outer shell, so they form a 2+ charge.
b) they lose 2 electrons as they are transferred to the non metal.
c)They obtain this charge as when they are made into an ionic compound the 2 electrons on the outer shell are transferred to the non metal, meaning there are 2 more protons that electrons, giving it a positive charge.
hope this helps! :)

The purpose is that it shows you all the elements we know and it arranges them in groups that are also the same kind like Chemistry.
Answer:
60.02 g.
Explanation:
- It is clear from the balanced equation:
<em>Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂.
</em>
that 1.0 mole of Mg reacts with 2.0 moles of HCl to produce 1.0 mole of MgCl₂ and 1.0 moles of H₂.
- 20.0 g of Mg reacts with excess HCl. To calculate the no. of grams of HCl that reacted, we should calculate the no. of moles of Mg:
<em>no. of moles of Mg = mass/atomic mass</em> = (20.0 g)/(24.3 g/mol) = 0.823 mol.
- From the balanced equation; every 1.0 mol of Mg reacts with 2 moles of HCl.
∴ 0.833 mol of Mg will react with (2 x 0.833 mol = 1.646 mol) of HCl.
<em>∴ The mass of reacted HCl = no. of moles x molar mass</em> = (1.646 mol)(36.46 g/mol) = <em>60.02 g.</em>
It would most likely be D because that’s how most of the things would be processed but sorry if I’m wrong.
