Answer: alkaline earth metals (group-IIA)
Explanation:
The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and forms a positively charged ion called as cation. The element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element and forms a negatively charged ion called as anion.
Alkaline earth metals donate 2 valence electrons to acquire noble gas configuration.
For example: Berrylium is the first alkaline earth metal with atomic number of 4 and thus has 4 electrons
Electronic configuration of berrylium:
![[Be]:4:1s^22s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BBe%5D%3A4%3A1s%5E22s%5E2)
Berrylium atom will loose two electrons to gain noble gas configuration and form berrylium cation with +2 charge.
![[Be^{2+}]:2:1s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BBe%5E%7B2%2B%7D%5D%3A2%3A1s%5E2)
Thus Elements donate 2 electron to produce a cation with a 2+ charge are alkaline earth metals.

You can not hear sound in vacuumed places like space. Wherever there is a high altitude, it makes it harder to hear sound and harder to breathe. Sound travels best in solids. Hope that helps a little bit.
Metals are dense, shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, and easily lose electrons in chemical reactions. Nonmetals are not dense, dull, do not conduct heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons. Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Have a good day!
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
When the complex ion Co(H2O)6 2+(aq) is placed in solution and chloride ions are added, the following equilobrium is set up;
Co(H2O)62+(aq) + 4 Cl-(aq) <=> CoCl42-(aq) + 6 H2O(g)
Co(H2O)6 2+(aq) solution is pink in colour while CoCl42-(aq) solution is blue in colour.
Since the solubility of CoCl42-(aq) is endothermic, heating the solution will move the equilibrium position towards the right (more CoCl42-(aq) is formed and the solution is blue in colour).
When the solution is cooled, more Co(H2O)62+(aq) is formed and the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and the solution becomes pink in colour.
