because they almost always give away a valance electron during bonding

In group 2 on the periodic table are they positive ions when they bond with other elements?
Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.
Why are Alkali metals so reactive?
Alkali Metals are group One elements and have one electron in their outer electron shell. In order to become stable they tend to lose an electron by reacting with something that needs an electron to become stable such as a group seven halogen. The Alkali Metal then become positive ions.This is because they only have on valance electron. This makes it easier to react with other elements and more often also.
What are elements that don't react rapidly with other elements called?
stable or unreactive elements. and If you are looking for the group, The Noble Gases are the most unreactive group of elements.
What is the part of the periodic table that has elements that do not chemically react?
All of them tend not to react with each other until you get lower down the group
Why are the elements in group 1 never found in nature?
Because they are highly reactive with many other elements.
In group 2 on the periodic table are they positive ions when they bond with other elements?
Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.

What is special about the elements in the same group?
elements are in the same group since they react similarly to other elements in that group.
Why is group 18 on Periodic Table of Elements considered inert?
The group 18 elements are considered inert because they rarely if ever interact with other elements. This is due to the fact that their outermost energy levels are full, which means they don't need to bond with other atoms to become stable.
Which elements will not form bonds to other elements?
The elements in Group 0 - Inert Gases group are all highly unreactive and so don't combine with other elements.
Which group of elements will never react with other elements and what is the name of that group?
Noble Gases
How is boron different from other elements in group 13?
because boron is the first and main element in that group.
How do IA and IIA differ the other Group A elements?
base in my experience.... because of the gravity of the earth...
How readily astatine would be to form a salt compared to other elements in Group 17?
Astatine wouldn't form salt as readily as other elements in Group 17. Astatine is a radioactive metalloid. Other elements in Group 17 are nonmetals.
What group off elements do not react with other elements?
Noble Gases
What are elements that don't react rapidly with other elements called?
stable or unreactive elements. and If you are looking for the group, The Noble Gases are the most unreactive group of elements.
Why lithium and other group 1 elements usually form positive ions while fluorine and other group 17 elements form negative ions?
Because group 1 has 1 electron in it's outer most shell and the have to fill the energy level, so they gave there electron and form positive ion (cation). And group 17 has 7 electrons in it's outer most shell and they need to complete their shell so the gain electron and form negative ion (anion).
