Group 2 elements have two valence electrons. Which kind of bond will they most likely form, and why? *         A:An ionic bond is likely because they will want to give away two valence electrons in order to become stable.       B:A metallic bond is likely because they are metals and can bond with other metals.       C:A covalent bond is likely because they want to share those two valence electrons in order to become stable.       D:An ionic bond is likely because they are metals and will want to bond with nonmetals.
