Name two elements you would expect to show chemical reactions similar to magnesium. What is the basis for your choice?


Answer :

Beryllium (Be) and Calcium (Ca).
Electronic configuration of both Be and Ca are similar , i.e. two electrons in outermost shells.

Be→( 2,2)

Ca→(2, 8, 8, 2)

Also basic oxides \(BeO \)and \(CaO \) are formed when both Be and Ca react with oxygen respectively.
