Group 2A metals, the alkaline earth metals:
Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
Gold is a "Noble Metal", which means its atoms do not readily share electrons with atoms of other elements.
Elements in group 1 have a lower number of electrons with respect to the other elements in the same period.
Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
Because atoms with the same number of valence electrons react in similar ways with other elements.
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.

Molecules Atoms which are elements make up molecules. Protons and electrons make up atoms.
The number of electrons of both atoms and its valence number.
Gold is a "Noble Metal", which means its atoms do not readily share electrons with atoms of other elements.
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
They will loose electrons.
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
