Question

which change is likely to happen to an atom of the element strontium (sr) during bonding? (1 point) it will give up electrons, forming a positive ion. it will give up electrons, forming a negative ion it will gain electrons, forming a negative ion. it will gain electrons, forming a positive ion.

Explanation:

Strontium (Sr) is in Group 2 of the periodic table, which are alkaline - earth metals. These elements have 2 valence electrons and tend to lose these electrons during bonding to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a positive ion (cation).

Answer:

It will give up electrons, forming a positive ion.
