Since Group 2 alkali earth metals have 2 valence electrons, they tend to lose those 2 when forming ionic bonds. And the Loss of Electrons = Oxidation (L.E.O. for short). Therefore this group, including Mg and Ca, have an oxidation of [+2]. So the correct answer is C) +2
Step 2: Calculate the number of moles corresponding to 2.55 × 10²⁶ atoms of Neon
In order to convert atoms into moles, we need a conversion factor, which is Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of Neon in 1 mole of atoms of Neon.
