um.. could anyone help?View attachment 19996
It's B because the compound is in Group 2 and therefore can only lose 2 electrons to chlorine. The element is most likely to be Magnesium. therefore the charge of the Ion is X+2.
The element is in group 2 because the first two electrons have similar ionization energy. The third Ionization energy is more than double of the 2nd ionization energy because electron is removed from another shell.
