what is the explanation for flame test colours
what kind of bonding is present in group 1 and 2?
What is the trend in reactivities of group 1 and 2 descending the group?
Why is beryllium chloride covalent but barium chloride ionic?
what is more reactive, Mg or Ba?
Why does Mg have a high boiling point?
what happens to the ionic radii of the 2+ ion on descending the group?
Reactions with oxygen
Mg with oxygen
What happens when MgO is placed in water?
what do group 2 metals react with chlorine to form?
reactions with water of group 1 and 2 metals
Mental + water ----->
the reaction of Mg and steam
reactions of group 2 oxides and hydroxides
Acid + base ------->
oxide + water ------>
oxide + acid ------------>
metal + water--------->
pattern of solubility
which ion is more polarising, group 1 or 2?
which group forms more stable carbonates?
decomposition of a group 2 carbonate to a group 2 oxide
Thermal decomposition of group 1 and 2 nitrates
Group 2 nitrates decompose fully to form?
group 1 nitrates decompose partially to form?
lithium nitrate (group 1) is an exception , why?
Explain why magnesium nitrate decomposes more readily on heating than potassium nitrate?
ionisation energy decreases down group 2
the oxides and hydroxides are bases...
the oxides and hydroxides so they form alkaline solutions and neutralise acids
here's how to do a flame test:
group 2 elements react with water, oxygen and chlorine
thermal stability of carbonates and nitrates changes down the group
group 1 vs group 2 thermal stability
