Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
These are present in group two and have two valance electrons.
All have high melting and boiling point.
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
