Answer:
ionic salt MX2
Explanation:
Atoms from an element in group IIA are allowed to react with atoms from an element in group VIIA. What type of compound is likely to form
elements from IIA are alkali earth metals (M) and need to lose
2 e^1- to become stable as M^2+
elements from VIIA ar halogens (X) and need to gain 1 e^1-
to become stable so one M^2+ combines with 2 X^1- to make
an ionic salt MX2
