When talking about the periodic table, what are the trends of precipitates as you move down the column of alkaline earth metals?

Homework, eh? :)

Ya, I have a lab write up due soon.

do you know anything about it?

Huh. I’m a chemist and I’ve not actually heard of any such trend. I’m sorry! I’d really like to help >.<

Haha okay ill just copy the question down.

If the ability of an alkaline earth metal to form a precipitate indicates its ability to react with other substances, draw a conclusion about the trends in reactivity as you mave down the column of alkaline earth metals?

Don’t mave the nice alkalines.

@lanahopple Okay, I understand that a bit better, but do you have any data on which form precipitates the easiest? It seems like you should, somewhere, from the phrasing of the question. It would take me a while to look up the trends (my inorganic chem is not the best), but I could try and give you a hand if you don’t have that.
