Strontium has chemical properties most similar to calcium as they are located in the same group in the Periodic Table (Group 2) and have similar electronic configurations. They both exhibit similar reactivity in terms of forming ionic compounds and similar chemical behavior.
the elements that lie in the group in which magnesium lies will repeat the properties of magnesium.
Elements in the same family, or group, have similar physical and chemical properties.
Calcium has similar physical and chemical properties to magnesium and strontium. They all belong to the same group of the periodic table, which means they have similar reactivity and characteristics.
No; each chemical element has different properties.
