2. ${\mathrm{Mg}}_3{\mathrm{N}}_2$

3. ${\mathrm{NaN}}_3$                                             

4. $\mathrm{MgO}$

Alkaline earth metals form hydrated crystalline solids such as $MgC{l}_2.6H_{2}O,<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>CaC{l}_2.6H_{2}O$. This is due to-

(1) Smaller ionic size

(2) Increased charge on ions

(3) Higher hydration enthalpies

(4) High oxidation potential
