Metallic bonds are bonds between 2 metals. Their electrons flow around freely unlike covalent or ionic bonds.
<span>Mass Number = (Atomic Number) + (Number of Neutrons) so you solve for the Number of Neutrons and you get:
Number of Neutrons = (Mass number) - (Atomic Number)
Mass Number equals protons plus neutrons, round atomic weight to nearest whole number
Atomic Number equals number of Protons</span>
Answer:
E²⁺
Explanation:
The group two contain alkaline earth metals.
There are six elements in group 2A.
Beryllium, Magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.
All members have two valance electrons.
They lose two valance electrons to complete the octet.
When they lose the two valance electrons they form cation X²⁺.
They react with halogens and form salt such as
MgCl₂, CaCl₂ etc.
Mg²⁺ Cl²⁻₂
The oxidation state of halogens are -1, while the elements of group two A shows +2 that's why two atoms of halogen are combine with one atom of alkaline earth metals and make the compound overall neutral.
All the alkaline earth metals have similar properties.
A. A pacemaker
Hope this helps!
