Alkali metals, Li Na K etc
Elements in group 2 have an oxidation number of +2 because they readily lose two electrons to achieve a full outer shell, which is the most stable electron configuration. This results in a +2 oxidation state as they become positively charged cations.
The oxidation state of Mg2+ is +2. Magnesium typically forms cations with a +2 charge by losing 2 electrons.
A lithium ion has a charge of +1
two elements with ions with a 2 plus charge are Sulfurand Oxygen
Group 7A elements have 7 electrons in their valence level, while Group 7B elements have 17 electrons in their valence level. This difference occurs because elements in Group 7A have 7 valence electrons, while elements in Group 7B have 7 valence electrons plus the 10 additional electrons in the d sublevel which contributes to a total of 17 valence electrons.
Members of the alkaline earth metals group, specifically those in Group 2 of the periodic table, lose 2 electrons to form cations with a +2 charge. This group includes elements such as beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). When these elements ionize, they readily lose their two outermost electrons, resulting in a stable +2 charge.
Elements in group 2 have an oxidation number of +2 because they readily lose two electrons to achieve a full outer shell, which is the most stable electron configuration. This results in a +2 oxidation state as they become positively charged cations.
Group 2 elements of the periodic table have a 2+ charge and are reactive. These elements include beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. They readily form 2+ cations by losing two electrons in chemical reactions.
The oxidation state of Mg2+ is +2. Magnesium typically forms cations with a +2 charge by losing 2 electrons.

Iron reduce silver cations.
The reaction between silver nitrate (AgNO3) and sodium chloride (NaCl) forms silver chloride (AgCl) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3). This is a double displacement reaction where the cations and anions switch partners. Silver chloride is a white precipitate that forms in this reaction.
Elements with oxidation numbers of +1 include elements in Group 1 of the periodic table, like hydrogen and sodium. Elements with oxidation numbers of -1 include elements in Group 17, like fluorine and chlorine.
The Group 2 elements, or the Alkali Earth metals, tend to form +2 charges when they become ions. This is because Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons and it is easier to lose 2 electrons than it is to gain 6 electrons to form a full outer shell.
