Answer: alkaline earth metals (group-IIA)
Explanation:
The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and forms a positively charged ion called as cation. The element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element and forms a negatively charged ion called as anion.
Alkaline earth metals donate 2 valence electrons to acquire noble gas configuration.
For example: Berrylium is the first alkaline earth metal with atomic number of 4 and thus has 4 electrons
Electronic configuration of berrylium:
Berrylium atom will loose two electrons to gain noble gas configuration and form berrylium cation with +2 charge.
Thus Elements donate 2 electron to produce a cation with a 2+ charge are alkaline earth metals.
Answer:
See attached figure.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given substances, we recall the concept of Lewis structure as such showing the bonds and valence electrons each atom has in the molecule. Thus, since chlorine atoms have seven valence electrons, carbon atoms four of them, hydrogen atoms have 1 and oxygen atoms 6, we are able to draw such Lewis dot structures, by obeying the octet as shown on the attached figure.
Best regards!
