Question

use the periodic table to answer the question. which change is likely to happen to an atom of the element strontium (sr) during bonding? (1 point) it will give up electrons, forming a negative ion. it will give up electrons, forming a positive ion. it will gain electrons, forming a positive ion. it will gain electrons, forming a negative ion.

Explanation:

Strontium (Sr) is a metal in Group 2 of the periodic table. Metals tend to lose electrons during bonding. When an atom loses electrons, it has more protons than electrons, forming a positive - charged ion (cation).

Answer:

It will give up electrons, forming a positive ion.
