Group 2 metals
  1. Trends as you go DOWN the group
    1. RADIUS INCREASES
      1. due to extra shells of electrons as you go down
        1. therefore SHIELDING INCREASES
          1. electrons are less attracted to the nucleus
            1. therefore IONISATION ENERGY DECREASES
              1. meaning MORE REACTIVE as you go down
                1. as electrons are held less strongly
                2. first ionisation energy
                  1. M (g) ---> M+ (g) + e-
                    1. second ionisation energy
                      1. M+(g) ---> M2+ (g) + e-
                        1. second ionisation energy is always greater than the first
                          1. Overall
                            1. M (g) ---> M2+(g) + 2e-
          2. MELTING POINTS DECREASE
            1. due to electrons being further away from the nucleus
              1. and the charge remaining the same
                1. this means that the METALLIC BONDS GET WEAKER
                  1. bonds between negative electrons and the positive particles
              2. as the size of the ions increases
            2. reactions with water
              1. For Beryllium
                1. does not react with water
                2. For Magnesium
                  1. reacts slowly with water
                    1. M(s) +2H20 (l) ---> M(OH) (aq) +H2 (g)
                    2. reacts fast with steam
                      1. Mg(s) ,H20(g) ---> MgO(s) +H2 (g)
                    3. The rest react with water b
                      1. all form metal hydroxide + hydrogen
                        1. but more vigorous as you go down
                      2. Sulphates
                        1. solubility decreases
                          1. BaSO4 is toxic BUT insoluble
                            1. used to outline the gut in medical X-rays
                              1. Barium meal
                              2. Used to test for sulphate ions
                                1. done by acidifying a sulphate ion solution with HCl
                                  1. adding Barium Chloride
                                    1. acid is added to remove carbonate ions as CO2 as barium carbonate is also a white precipiatae
                                    2. forms a white precipitate of BaSO4
                              3. Hydroxides
                                1. the solubility of the hydroxides increases as you go down
                                  1. and become more alkaline
                                    1. due to the presence of more OH
                                  2. Uses of Hydroxides
                                    1. Mg(OH)2 is used as an indigestion remedy
                                      1. neutralises the acid in the stomach
                                      2. calcium hydroxide is used to treat acidic soil
                                        1. Ca(OH)2
                                          1. slaked lime
                                      3. are all white solids
                                        1. Barium Hydroxides dissolves to produce a strongly alkaline solution
                                          1. Ba(OH)2(s) + aq ---> Ba2+(aq) + 2OH-
                                        2. general facts
                                          1. group 2 metals OXIDISE
                                            1. from 0 ---> +2
                                            2. electron arrangement
                                              1. 2 electrons in an outer s - orbital
