Question

URGENT PLS HELP!!!!!

What charge would you expect on an ion from group 2A, such as magnesium (Mg) or
barium (Ba)?

Answer 1

Answer is +2 in the group 2a

Answer 2

+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Elements in group 2A have 2 valence electrons in their outer shell, so when they bond with other atoms, they are most likely to give away these 2 electrons. With 2 electrons gone, the ion will have a positive charge (since there are now more protons than electrons in the atom).
