What are three things that the elements Magnesium, Calcium and Barium have in common?

1.They are all in the second group of the periodic table

2.They are an alkaline earth metal

3.They all have a shine to them

4.They are all highly reactive

5.They have a silver/white to them

6.They can all be found in the Earths crust

I'm not really sure of any others that they have in common and I thought to give extra so you could choose.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

geosphere and hydrosphere.

this is because the geosphere has to do with geological events, while the hydrosphere controls all water on earth.
