Chemistry Explain why Groups 1 and 2 seem to form many compounds with Groups 16 and 17. Asked by Dr. John Carmen on 25 Dec 05:15 Last updated by anonymous on 26 Dec 01:16
Elements in Groups 1 and 2 tend to easily lose one or two electrons to whatever wants to bond to it. Conversely, Groups 16 and 17 easily gain electrons.
