7. Group 2 Hydroxides react with water to...

  • Form a solution of a metal hydroxide
  • Form an oxide and water
  • Form a Hydroxide solution and Hydrogen
  • Form a Hydroxide and an Oxide

8. What are the densities of Group 2 metals like?

10. Group 2 Oxides are...

  • Bases
  • Acids

11. What is the trend in Reactivity for Group 2?

  • Reactivity increases across the group
  • Reactivity Increases down the group
  • Reactivity Decreases down the group
  • Reactivity decreases across the group

12. What is the trend in Ionisation energy for Group 2?

  • Decreases down the group
  • Increases down the group

13. Why does the Ionisation energy support the trend for Group 2?

  • The ionisation energy increases, so they lose electrons more easily
  • The ionisation energy decreases, so they lose electrons more easily
  • The ionisation energy decreases, so they gain electrons more easily
  • The ionisation energy increases, so they gain electrons more easily
