The correct option is STRONTIUM.
Strontium is a group 2 element, that means it has two electrons in its outermost shell. This element will prefer to lose these two electrons in its outermost shell in order to attain the octet form, therefore, it will form electrovalent bond with non metals which it can donate two electrons to.
Answer:
Explanation:
A single replacement or single displacement reaction is a reaction in which one substance replaces another.
A + BC → AC + B
The replacement of an ion in solution by a metal higher in the activity series is a special example of this reaction type.
The relative positions of the elements in the activity series provides the driving force for single displacement reactions.
A double replacement reaction is one in which there is an actual exchange of partners between reacting species. This reaction is more common between ionic substances;
AB + CD → AC + BD
Such reactions are usually driven by;
- formation of precipitation
- formation of water and a gaseous product
