Question
Name two elements that you would expect to show chemical reactions similar to calcium. What is the basis of your choice?
Advertisements
Solution
Two elements, magnesium (Mg) and barium (Ba), undergo chemical reactions that are comparable to those of calcium because all three elements have two electrons in their outermost shell and are members of group II-A.
