3.1.2 Group 2

This document discusses redox reactions and reactivity trends of Group 2 metals. It covers how Group 2 metals lose their outer shell s2 electrons to form 2+ ions in redox reactions. It also describes the relative reactivities of magnesium, calcium, barium and their reactions with oxygen, water and dilute acids. Finally, it discusses the reactions of Group 2 compounds with water and their uses as bases like calcium hydroxide neutralizing acid soils and magnesium and calcium compounds being used as antacids.

Redox reactions and reactivity of Group 2 metals

(a) the outer shell s2 electron configuration and the loss of these electrons in redox reactions to form 2+ ions
(b) the relative reactivities of the Group 2 elements Mg Ba shown by their redox reactions with:
(i) oxygen
(ii) water
(iii) dilute acids
Reactions with acids will be limited to those producing a salt and hydrogen.
(c) the trend in reactivity in terms of the first and second ionisation energies of Group 2 elements down the group (see
also 3.1.1 c)
Definition of second ionisation energy is not required, but learners should be able to write an equation for the
change involved.

Reactions of Group 2 compounds


(d) the action of water on Group 2 oxides and the approximate pH of any resulting solutions, including the trend of
increasing alkalinity
(e) uses of some Group 2 compounds as bases, including equations, for example (but not limited to):
(i) Ca(OH)2 in agriculture to neutralise acid soils
(ii) Mg(OH)2 and CaCO3 as antacids in treating indigestion.
