Question

metals in group 2 of the periodic table can form ionic bonds with elements from which of these groups?
choose 1 answer:
group 1
group 17
group 18

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form between metals and non - metals. Group 2 elements are metals. Group 1 elements are metals (so they won't form ionic bonds with group 2 metals). Group 18 elements are noble gases (inert, don't usually form bonds). Group 17 elements are non - metals (halogens). Metals (group 2) and non - metals (group 17) can form ionic bonds.

Answer:

B. group 17
