What group of elements on the periodic table give electrons?

Metals give electrons.


Give the location of the elements found in the periodic table which have the same valence electrons?

Vertical columns.


Which group of elements wants to give away 2 electrons?

group 2


An element from group eighteen from the periodic table is?

An element from group eighteen from the periodic table is commonly referred to as a "noble" or "inert" gas. These elements have filled electron shells, and therefore they do not share, take or give away any electrons. As a group they do not react with othere elements to form compounds (with only a couple of rare exceptions).


Is aluminium reactive with other elements?

Yes, aluminum is reactive with other elements. Being a metal, it likes to give its outer electrons away to have an empty outer electron shell, and being in the 3A column, it has 3 electrons to give away, so it is quite reactive.


What can Groups 3-12 of the periodic table be?

Transition metals that have 1 or 2 valence electrons, and give 1 0r 2 electrons away to form compounds.


How are the topics of ion formation and periodic trends related?

Periodic trends affect how certain elements on the periodic table react with each other. For example, Ionization energy tend : metals want to give off electrons , non metals want to gain electrons. This trend is essentially which elements are likely to react together and how they would react together, which is essentially ion formation (gain or loss of electrons through a reaction).


Why did they number elements on periodic table?

No one give number to elements in periodic table. they have been calculated


What are some elements on the periodic table that need to give up 2 electrons to have a full outer orbit?

Berilium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium and Radium


How does the modern periodic table arrange the elements?

In the modern version of the periodic table, the elements are arranged in increasing order of the atomic number. The chemical properties of an element can be predicted by its group. For example group 1 elements react violently to give away one electron to form +1 ions where group 18 elements are inert in standard temperature and pressure. This periodic table was introduced by Henry Mosley.


What does an element that forms an anion do?

When the element bonds with another element it accepts electrons (it does not give them away) and becomes negatively charged.


Why do elements participate in bonding?

Because in nature the elements seek to either give out electrons of take electrons. So the elements that gives out electrons bonds with the elements that takes electrons so that both of them are "happy"
