Both of the elements will have two different electronegativities. When there is a large difference between the two electronegativities, one element will "steal" one or more electrons from the other element. The energy required for this is ionization energy, and increases as an element takes more electrons from another.
My answer: Elements are stabilized when they contain a "complete shell" or the noble gas configuration of electrons, which is usually eight electrons. Elements that have a number of electrons close to that of a noble gas, will lose or gain electrons easily. For example, elements in the column just to the left of the noble gases have one fewer electron than the noble gas next to it, and therefore they tend to gain one electron easily. Elements in the column on the far left of the Periodic Table have one more electron than the noble gas in each row, and they tend to lose one electron easily. Because the protons contribute the positive charge, and the electrons contribute the negative charge, an ion is formed when an element gains or loses one or more electrons.

What element is isoelectronic with krypton?
The only elements that form an ion isoelectric with krypton are the elements in Period 4 and Columns 15 through 17 of a wide form periodic table and the elements in Period 5 and Columns 1 and 2 of a wide form periodic table. All other elements do not form such an ion.
What elements does not form an ion with a charge of 1 fluorine hydrogen potassium sodium?
All the listed elements form ions with a charge of 1, if "1" is taken as the absolute value of the charge on the ion. For fluorine, however, the corresponding ion has a charge of -1.
How barium reacts with other elements?
Ba looses its two electrons to form Ba 2+ ion and then it reacts with other elements to form compounds.
What elements can form a positive ion?
Elements can form a positive ion by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals are more likely to form positive ions by losing electrons, while nonmetals tend to gain or share electrons to form negative ions.
What is most likely to form a negative ion?
N and P for example. Nitrogen will form a N3- the nitride ion.
What elements form an ion with a charge of 2?
Elements in Group 2 of the periodic table form ions with a charge of 2. This group includes elements such as calcium, magnesium, and barium. When these elements lose two electrons, they form ions with a +2 charge.
