Group 2 0.0 / 5 ? ChemistryThe Periodic TableReactionsASOCR Created by: amazingemilyjonesCreated on: 11-03-17 17:26 Charge of any group 2 cation 2+ 1 of 7 Reactivity trend for group 2 elements Increase in reactivity going down the group 2 of 7 Explanation for reactivity pattern Positive ions form more easily as outer electrons are from increasing atomic radii, further from nuclear attraction and more shielded 3 of 7 Redox reaction A reaction in which electron transfer takes place; something is reduced and something is oxidises 4 of 7 Are group 2 metals oxidising or reducing agents? Reducing agents; they lose electrons and their oxidation number increases 5 of 7 Pattern of solubility of hydroxides Increase in solubility going down group 2 6 of 7 Pattern of pH of hydroxides Increase in pH going down the group 7 of 7
