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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The two elements which will show chemical reactions similar to magnesium are beryllium (Be) and calcium (Ca). This is because beryllium and calcium to the same group of periodic table as magnesium (which is group 2). All of them have similar electronic configurations with 2 valence electrons each.
