The formation of chemical bonds occurs due to the attractive forces between oppositely charged ions (ionic bonds) or by sharing of electrons (covalent bonds).
An atom having tendency of attracting a shared pair of electrons towards itself and this chemical property is said to Electronegativity .
Thus, the attractive forces which draws in surrounding electrons for chemical bonds is electronegativity.
a) Group 2 elements have 2 electrons on their outer shell, so they form a 2+ charge.
b) they lose 2 electrons as they are transferred to the non metal.
c)They obtain this charge as when they are made into an ionic compound the 2 electrons on the outer shell are transferred to the non metal, meaning there are 2 more protons that electrons, giving it a positive charge.
hope this helps! :)
The bathtub of water would melt the most ice because it has a larger area
In divergent boundaries deep ocean trenches form due to the 2 plates pulling apart. the plate in the middle gets stretched thinner and thinner as it submerges into the sea until enough pressure causes magma to erupt from it. when the magma erupts new sea floor is created
