The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$Ba \left( NO _{3}\right)_{2} $ responds to both dilute and concentrated $H _{2} SO _{4}$ $Ba \left( NO _{3}\right)_{2}+ H _{2} SO _{4}(\text { dil. }) \to BaSO _{4}(s) \downarrow +2 H +2 NO _{3}^{-}(aq)$ $Ba(NO_3)_2+H_2SO_4 $ (Conc) $\to \underset{\text{White ppt. ( Sparingly soluble salt)}}{{BaSO_4}} ? +2HNO_3$

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.
