The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Clark's method is used to remove temporary hardness of water, in which bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium are reacted with slaked lime ${Ca(OH)_2}$
${Ca(HCO_3)_2 + Ca(OH)_2 -> 2CaCO_3 V + 2H_2 O }$
${Mg(HCO_3)_2 + 2Ca(OH)_2 -> 2CaCO_3 V + Mg(OH)_2 V + 2H_2 O}$

Group 2 Elements

The group two or alkaline earth metals are s-block elements with two electrons in their s-orbital. They are alkaline earth metals. They are named so because of the alkaline nature of the hydroxides and oxides.

Alkaline earth metals are characterized by two s-electrons. This group of elements includes:

  • Beryllium (Be)
  • Magnesium (Mg)
  • Calcium (Ca)
  • Strontium (Sr)
  • Barium (Ba)
  • Radium (Ra)

Elements whose atoms have their s-subshell filled with their two valence electrons are called alkaline earth metals. Their general electronic configuration is [Noble gas] ns2. They occupy the second column of the periodic table and so-called as group two metals also.
