3.Look at the positions of calcium, beryllium, and magnesium on the periodic table. Based on their locations, predict how many valence electrons these elements have and predict what the reactivity of these elements will generally be.

Respuesta :

Answer:

They have two valence electrons and enter into reactions where they can donate their two valence electrons

Explanation:

Here, we want to predict the number of valence electrons

The elements belong to the group 2 of the periodic table

Elements in the periodic table are placed in groups based on the number of valence electrons they have

It is expected that elements in group 2 of the periodic table have 2 valence electrons

Their reactivity is that, they react with other atoms by donating this two valence electrons. They then achieve the electronic configuration of the noble gas in the last period
