An atom of A loses two electrons and an atom of B gains an electron. So the second electron is gained by another atom of B.
The nature of bond between A and B will be IONIC, as complete transfer of electrons takes place. Ionic compound is formed.
Compound: A B₂
This compound in molten state or in aqueous solutions dissociates into ions A²⁺ and B⁻. These ions travel from anode to cathode or vice versa. So the liquid conducts electricity as ions can travel in a liquid.
