Any of the Group II elements will have similar reactions.

Explanation:

Chemical reactivity is based on electronic structure. The Periodic Table of the Elements arranges the elements in columns of similar valence electrons, which are the electrons involved in chemical reactions.

Thus, any element in the same column as another element will have similar valence electron structure, and therefore similar chemical reactivity.
