CHAPTER 11: Group II
- Physical Properties of Group II Elements
- Reactions of Group II Elements
- Group II Oxides, Hydroxides and Carbonates
- Thermal Decomposition
- Uses of Group II Compounds
Learning outcomes:
- describe the reactions of the elements with oxygen, water and dilute acids
- describe the behaviour of the oxides, hydroxides and carbonates with water and with dilute acids.
- describe the thermal decomposition of the nitrates and carbonates
- interpret, and make predictions from, the trends in physical and chemical properties of the elements and their compounds
- explain the use of magnesium oxide as a refractory lining material
- describe and explain the use of lime in agriculture
