Based on the following electron configuration, [Xe]6s 2 , this element would most likely _____. Paired item 1)

The given electron configuration suggests that the element would lose 2 electrons to achieve a stable configuration, forming a +2 cation. Typically, cations form ionic bonds with non-metals, which tend to gain electrons.
