For this problem two generic elements "X" and "Z" are going to combine to form an ionic compound. If the element X has 2 valence electrons and the element Z has 6 valence electrons, what is the chemical formula for the lonic compound they would create?
а) X2Z2
b) X6Z2
c) XZ6
d) XZ

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.

there are no statements provided but here is why:

sulfur belongs to group 16 because it can be found in nature whether it is in a free or combined state.

hope this

with this one i know the answer in craters one reason i looked it up and i learned about it there is my evidence

it is b that is the answer.
