Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These are alkaline earth metals.

These are present in group two.

All have two valance electrons.

All alkaline earth metals form salt with halogens.e.g,

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

Ba + Br₂ → BaBr₂

Mg + Br₂ → MgBr₂

Ca + Br₂ → CaBr₂

They react with oxygen and form oxides of respective metal.

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

2Ba + O₂ → 2BaO

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

these oxides form hydroxide when react with water,

MgO + H₂O → Mg(OH)₂

BaO + H₂O → Ba(OH)₂

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

With nitrogen it produced nitride,

3Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

3Ba + N₂ → Ba₃N₂

3Ca + N₂ → Ca₃N₂

With acid like HCl,

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

Ba + 2HCl → BaCl₂ + H₂

Ca + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂
