Element X is in Group 2 and element Z is in Group 17. What happens when a compound is formed between these two atoms? Group of answer choices

X gains electrons from Z to form an ionic bond.

X gains electrons from Z to form a covalent bond.

X loses electrons to Z to form a covalent.

well if element X is in group 2 it is a solid metal and if element Z is in group 17 its a non metal.

ionic bonds happen between a metal and a non metal and the metal looses electrons and gives it to the non metal for both to have a full valence energy level or shell.

covelent bonds are bonds that happen between 2 or more non metals and instead of giving valance electrons they share them between each other.

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
