Answer:
element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.
Explanation:
- Group IIA have 2+ valency and two electrons in its valance shell.
- Its Electropositivity is high and have the tendency to donate it two electrons.
- Element of IIA form ionic with most electronegative element.
Examples:
Cu²⁺, Mg²⁺, Sr²⁺ are examples having 2+ valance electron
one of the following is examples of element that have 2+ valence electrons
MgCl₂
Atomic number of Magnesium (Mg) is 12
Electronic Configuration of Mg:
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²
or
K =2
L = 8
M = 2
So, it have to give its 2 electrons to form a stable compound.
Similarly
Chlorine atomic number is 17
Electronic Configuration of Chlorine:
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁵
or
K =2
L = 8
M = 7
So, it have to gain one electrons to form a stable compound and complete its octet.
So,
Two chlorine atom as a molecule gain 2 electrons from Mg²⁺ atom
So one Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻ atoms form an ionic bond
where in this ionic bond Mg²⁺ transfer its 2 valence electron completely and chlorine molecule accept 2 electrons.
Cl-----Mg------Cl
So the Answer is
element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.
