Introduction: Purpose
Introduction: Explanation of background concepts and theories
Hypothesis and explanation for prediction
Materials and Safety
Procedure written in past tense passive voice in paragraph form, summarized, not step by step
Data tables included (descriptive observations)
Analysis: What pattern can you describe for the precipitation of the sulfate salts, oxalate salts, carbonate
salts?

Analysis: Which combinations of chemicals are the most soluble? How do you know?
Analysis: Which of the combinations are the least soluble? How do you know?
Analysis: Are the reactivity tendencies observed with the sulfate and Group 2 ions supported by the
reactions with the oxalate and carbonate ions? Explain.
□
□
Analysis: Write a general statement to describe the reactivity of Group 2 ions.
Analysis: Did your results of this experiment support your hypothesis about the properties of Group 2
metals? Explain.

Analysis: Predict what would happen if Ra+2 ions were used in the three tests. Explain.
Analysis: Predict what would happen if Be+2 ions were used in the three tests. Explain.
Analysis: How could this experiment be extended in order to place each element within a family in the
periodic table? What types of reaction would be most useful in characterizing the elements? Which family
of elements would be the hardest to characterize? Why?
