Elements in Group 2 of the Periodic Table form ions with a charge of 2. This group includes elements such as calcium, magnesium, and barium. When these elements lose two electrons, they form ions with a +2 charge.
Elements having 2 valence electrons form ion with a charge of 2.
and the elements which need two electrons to complete its octet form ion with -2 charge.
Oxygen forms oxide, also sulfur, selenium and tellurium form 2 minus charge ions
Yes: 2+ charge by loosing 2 electrons (when oxidized) Me --> Me2+ + 2e-
The group 2 elements form ions with a 2+ charge. For example, Mg2+ and Ca2+. The group 16 elements form ions with a 2- charge. For example, O2- and S2-.
Only chlorine has a diatomic molecule biut any ion is 2-..
the charge of zinc has only one charge which is 2+.
The most common charge (or valency) is -2. But there are compounds formed by elements of group VIA with valency from -2 to +6
