Group II Elements

Learning Objectives CIE

Describe the reactions of the elements of group II with oxygen and water Describe the behavior of the oxides with water Describe the thermal decomposition of the nitrates and carbonates in terms of e uations Interpret and ma!e 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 and carbonate as a building material Describe the use of lime in agriculture

Learning Outcomes
"tudents should be able to wor! in groups to Gather and use the information from various sources to find answers to the uestions on the following slides "hare their answers with the rest of the class through posters prepared on the spot and explain the concepts applied #rovide feedbac! to their class mates if their posters and explanations were helpful in effective learning
