Group 1 and 2 elements have 1 and 2 valence electrons respectively. Removal of these electrons will result in stable noble gas electronic configuration. Group 17 and 16 elements have 7 and 6 valence electrons respectively. Addition of 1 or 2 electrons to group 17 and 16 respectively will give them stable noble gas configuration.

Hence these two groups are highly reactive and their elements will combine to form large number of compounds.

Between groups 16, 17; polar covalent bond, for example F2O.

With metals - mainly ionic bonds as these groups contain principally non -metals (only tellurium and polonium are metalloids)

with hydrogen covalent bonds

group 1 and 2 are electorpositive elements(metals) so they readilly reacts with group 16 and 17 elements which are electronegative(non-metals).

What element will bond to form an ionic compound with K?

Potassium will form ionic compound with group 17 elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine) and group 16 elements (oxygen, sulphur, selenium).


Does sodium oxide form an ionic compound with the formula of the type x2y?

Yes, with group 16 elements. Sodium oxide can be given as an example.


When Barium and Oxygen react to form an ionic compound does Barium atoms lose 2 electrons and form a cation?

Yes! Barium is a group 2 metal and so loses two electrons. Oxygen is a group 16 non metal and will readily pick up two electrons. So, they form BaO.


If 3 grams of element C combine with 8 gram of element D to form compound CD how many grams of D are needed to form compound CD2?

You are doubling the amount of D, so 8*2 = 16 grams of D required.

Explain Why Groups 1 and 2 form many compounds with Groups 16 and 17?

Their valance electrons form an octet. Each compound wants to have 8 valence electrons (which forms an octet). Groups 1 and 2 have 1 and 2 valence electrons respectively. 16 and 17 have 6 and 7 respectively. So together, they form 8.


What group is oxygen?

Oxygen is in group 16 or group 6A
