?
Reducing Agent: definition
a species that reduces another species by losing electrons
1 of 13
Gruop 2 reaction with oxygen
all react to form a metal oxide (MO), made of M2+ and 02-
2 of 13
redox of group 2 with oxygen
metal is oxidised, oxygen is reduced
3 of 13
group 2 reactions with water
form an alkaline hydroxide, M(OH)2 and hydrogen
4 of 13
redox of group 2 reaction with water
metal is oxidised, hydrogen is reduced and stays the same
5 of 13
group 2 reaction with dilute acids
forms salt and hydrogen gas
6 of 13
redox of group 2 reaction with dilute acids
metal is oxidised, hydrogen is reduced
7 of 13
trends in group 2 reactivity
increases down the group
8 of 13
trends in reactivity of group 2: explained
nuclear attraction decreases down group due to increased atomic radius
9 of 13
group 2 oxides reaction with water
form alkaline solutions of metal hydroxides (release OH) until saturated when they form solid ppt
10 of 13
trend in solubility of group 2 hydroxides
increases down group
11 of 13
group 2 compounds in agriculture
calcium hydroxide is added to fields as lime to increase pH of acidic soils
12 of 13
group 2 compounds in medicine
group 2 bases are often used as antiacids for indigestion
