When group 2a elements form ions what happens?

Group 2A elements (alkaline earth metals) tend to lose two electrons to form 2+ ions. This is because they have two valence electrons and tend to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to noble gases by losing those two electrons.


Compared with Group 2A elements Group 6A elements have?
