All the elements in Group 2A (Mg, Ca, etc.). A charge of 2+ is acquired by these metals in order for a more stable state to be achieved.

What is two or more atoms joined tightly together?

It's called a compound. There are four basic types: Molecule, which has no charge. It is composed of 2+ different elements Ion, which can have positive or negative charge, but never neutral charge. It can be formed from any number of atoms of different or same elements. Ionic compound, which is formed from 2 or more ions (which can be just 1 atom) that attract each other, forming a net neutral charge. These include all acids, which is a positive hydrogen ion bonding with a different negative ion. Diatomic molecules form from 2 atoms of the same element. The only elements that form this are: Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen, Chlorine, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Fluorine.
