Question

Use the periodic table to answer the following questions.
Identify an element that would tend to lose two electrons.

✓

Answer

An element having two valence electrons will lose two electrons easily to attain the stable noble gas configuration. The general electronic configuration of such an element will be $\mathrm{ns}^2$.
This is the electronic configuration of group 2 elements. The elements present in group 2 are $\mathrm{Be}, \mathrm{Mg}$, $\mathrm{Ca}, \mathrm{Sr}, \mathrm{Ba}$.
