It explains how the thermal stability of the compounds changes down the group.

The Thermal Stability of the Nitrates and Carbonates This page examines at the effect of heat on the carbonates and nitrates of the Group 2 elements (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium).

The Solubility of the Hydroxides, Sulfates and Carbonates This page discusses the solubility of the hydroxides, sulfates and carbonates of the Group 2 elements-beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium-in water.

This leads to lower activation energies, and therefore faster reactions. This is mainly due to a decrease in ionization energy down the group. Computers which started life with Win 10 or were updated using a clean installation where all software was removed during the installation do not have.

Reactions of Group 2 Elements with Water The reactions of the Group 2 elements proceed more readily as the energy needed to form positive ions falls. This problem only occurs on computers which have been updated from a pervious version, normally Win 7, Win 8, or Win 8.1 to Windows 10 and Elements 13 or 14 was on the computer before the update.

This Module addressed why it is difficult to observe a tidy pattern of this reactivity.

Reactions of Group 2 Elements with Oxygen Group 2 elements (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium) react oxygen.

Reactions of Group 2 Elements with Acids This page discusses the reactions of the Group 2 elements (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium) with common acids.

Group 2: General Properties The elements in the group include beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra).
