A Group 6A nonmetal would be most likely to form an ionic bond with an element of Group

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Group 6A nonmetals tend to gain two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, similar to the nearest noble gas. Group 2A elements, being metals, tend to lose two electrons to achieve stability. This complementary loss and gain of electrons facilitate the formation of ionic bonds between Group 6A nonmetals and Group 2A metals.
