Group 2 in the periodic table contains the elements beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba) and radium (Ra). What characteristic do these elements share? (1 point)

They will tend to lose two electrons to become a 2+ ion.

They will tend to gain two electrons to become a 2- ion.

They gain two protons to achieve a stable octet.

They will chemically bond to have an electron configuration like Krypton (Kr).

@Rushwr  can you help me please and thank you

They will tend to make 2+ ion by losing 2 electrons.  They are already in their most stable configuration. It's hard to remove only one electron from it .
