Answer:

Will group 2 elements lose electrons to bond with nonmetals in group 17 in a

1:2 ratio?

Explanation:

Metals are electropositive in nature. This means that they loose electrons. Thus, metals form ionic bonds by loosing electrons to non metals.

Elements of group 2 have a valency of 2 while those of group 17 has a valency of 1 so the ratio in which group 2 elements bond with elements of group 17 is 1:2. Hence the answer.
