Because group 1 does not have all of the electrons it needs so it steals electrons from group 17 so it can have the amount it needs because an atom needs 8 electrons in the outer layer.

What is most likely to gain two electrons when forming an ionic bond?
An element in group 16/VIA, such as oxygen, is most likely to gain two electrons when forming an ionic bond. This is due to the fact that the atoms of the elements in group 16/VIA have six valence electrons and require two more to get a filled valence shell of 8 electrons (octet rule).
What group is oxygen?
Oxygen is in group 16 or group 6A
Which group contains whose atoms have six electrons in their outer level?
Group 16 (group 6A)
What are 12-16 compounds?
A combination of group 12 and group 16 atoms. Eg. ZnS
What other group on the periodic table is most likely to react with elements in group 1A?
If you meant to say "elements ARE most likely to bond with," which is probably what you meant, then the answer would be 7A(or 17), also called the Halogens. "Halogen" actually means "salt-forming." When you take a chlorine (7A) and sodium (1A), you end up with table salt! ---- In a nutshell, the answer is Group 7A, or 17.
Which element would not make a good electron pair donor in a formation of a coordinate covalent bond?
Metals for example. Hydrogen. Good donors are members of group 15, 16, 17.
What group of elements gain two valence electrons when the atom form ionic bond?
Group 16 or the chalcogens.
How many members in president's advisory group?
In the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board there are 16 members
What group might group 16 most readily react with?
For the most part, Group 16 forms -2 ions, therefore they most readily bond with Group 2, which primarily form +2 ions.
What family is beryllium most reactive with?
Beryllium react with the members of halogens family (group 17) and chalcogens (group 16).
Which compounds contains an ionic bond?
In general, when an element in group 1 or group 2 combines with elements in group 16 or group 17, ionic bonds are formed between the two elements.
Compounds contains an ionic bond?
In general, when an element in group 1 or group 2 combines with elements in group 16 or group 17, ionic bonds are formed between the two elements.
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).

What group is oxygen?
Oxygen is in group 16 or group 6A
If a group that has 460 members and 14 percent of the group voted to change it's bylaws and 16 percent voted against the change how many people did not vote?
