Elements in Group 1 become more stable by what an electron?
Elements in group two become more stable as they all have complete electron shell.They do not have valence electrons and hence they are less reactive.Some of the elements of group 2 are Barium,Magnesium and Calcium
What group of elements on the periodic table give electrons?
Group I (alkali metals) and Group II (alkaline earth metals) elements on the periodic table are more likely to give away electrons to form positive ions. These elements have one or two electrons in their outermost energy level, making it easier for them to lose these electrons and achieve a stable electron configuration.
Why do the oxidation numbers in the first two groups tend to be positive?
The oxidation numbers in the first two groups tend to be positive because these elements have a tendency to lose electrons and form cations. Elements in Group 1 and Group 2 have 1 and 2 valence electrons, respectively, making it easier for them to lose these electrons and achieve a more stable electron configuration by forming ions with a positive charge.
What is the number of valence electrons for group 2 elements?
Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons. In fact, the number of valence electrons of elements can be deduced from the group number (e.g. group VII elements have 7 valence electrons).
How many electrons do group 1 elements lose to become ions?
Group 1 elements a.k.a. Alkali metals lose 1 electron to form 1+ ions
Does group 2A elements lose or gain protons or electrons?
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
Why is it easier for group 14 elements in the periodic table to become stable instead of transferring electrons?
Group-14 elements do not transfer electrons. They share electrons to form covalent bonds.
How many valence electrons do the elements is group two have?
Group II elements (also called alkaline earth metals), have two valence electrons. To fill their outer shell, they therefore become ions with two positive charges, such as magnesium: Mg -> 2e- + Mg2+
Do elements in group 2A gain or loose electrons when they become ions?
Lose 2Alkaline-earth metals have 2 outer shell electrons. All atoms "want" eight. They will achieve a full outer shell by losing or gaining the least number of electrons. Since group 2A elements have two valence electrons, they would either have to gain 6 electrons or lose 2. It is easier to lose 2.
Elements in Group 1 become more stable by what an electron?

How do ions become positive?
Positive ions form when an atom or group of atoms loses one or more electrons.

How many electrons do group 1 elements lose to become ions?
Group 1 elements a.k.a. Alkali metals lose 1 electron to form 1+ ions
Does group 2 on the periodic table gain or lose electrons?
they will lose electron to form mono positive cation
What does the group of A elements tell about valence electrons?
All elements in the same A group will have the same number of valence electrons.
