Question

which group of elements are likely to lose electrons fro their valence?

Answer 1

Answer:

In particular, cesium (Cs) can give up its valence electron more easily than can lithium (Li). ... The same trend also is seen among the Group 2 elements (the alkaline-earth metals); the farther down in the group the metal resides, the more likely it is to lose an electron.

Answer 2

Elements that are metals tend to lose electrons and become positively charged ions called cations. Elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and become negatively charged ions called anions. Metals that are located in column 1A of the periodic table form ions by losing one electron.
