The metals of group 2 from top to bottom are Be,Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba.

1) which one  of these elements will form ions most readily and why?

2) state the common feature in the electronic configuration of all these elements.

Solution

1 ) Barium will form ions most readily because it is most metallic and ions electrons readily and form a positive ion.
2) All these element have 2 valence electrons.
