An element with a charge +2 means it loses two electrons, whenever an atom or element has positive charge it means it loses electrons. +2 charge means atom loses 2 electrons and now electrons are 10. so before there was 12 electrons and an element with 12 electrons means its atomic number is 12. An element with atomic number 12 is magnesium.

What causes atoms to form covalent bonds?
tino4ka555 [31]

Sharing of valence electrons.

Explanation:

In a covalent bonds, there is sharing of the valence electrons used in bonding between the two combining species.

The atoms taking part do not have a wide electronegativity difference between them and so they share the valence electrons to complete their octet and ensure their stability.

  • For the formation of this bond type, each of the atom requires a odd or unpaired electrons.
  • Covalent bonds are formed between atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.
