Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. Which kind of bond will they most likely form, and why? (1 point)

Question

o A covalent bond is likely because they want to share those two valence
electrons in order to become stable.
o An ionic bond is likely because they are metals and will want to bond with
nonmetals.
• A metallic bond is likely because they are metals and can bond with other
metals.
o An ionic bond is likely because they will want to give away two valence
electrons in order to become stable.

Answer 1

o An ionic bond is likely because they will want to give away two valence electrons in order to become stable.
