Group 2 elements are electropositive strong reducing agents but not as strong as a group 1 elements
the reducing power of group 2 elements increases down the group
Be has the most negative standard reduction potential
The magnesium cation is more easily reduced then the heavier members of the group

The elements of group 1 describe, more clearly than any other group of elements, the effects of increasing the size of atoms or ions on the physical and chemical properties. The chemical and physical properties of the elements are closely related to their electronic structures and sizes. These metals are highly electropositive and thus from very strong bases, and have quite stable oxo-salts. In the manufacturing of sodium hydroxide, chlorine and sodium carbonate, the sodium chloride is used as starting material
