Helga [31]3 years ago

In chemistry and physics, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

Which ion would represent the ion of an element from Group 2A?
ziro4ka [17]

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.
