The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Nitrolim' is prepared by heating finely powdered $CaC _{2}$ with a little of $CaCl _{2}$ in the atmosphere of $N _{2}$ at $1000-1100^{\circ} C$, in an electric furnace $CaC _{2}+ N _{2} {->[{1000-1100^{\circ} C }][{\left( CaCl _{2}\right)}]}\underset{\text{nitrolim}}{\left[ CaCN _{2}+ C \right]}$

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.
