Alkaline earth metals are not found in their free state in nature. Their electron configuration‘s contain to outer electrons. Because they easily give up these two outer electrons, what type of bond do they typically form?

Ionic bond

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element or the metal and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element or non metal.

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

Alkaline earth metals (M) are gruop 2 elements with 2 valence electrons in their valence shell and thus can easily donate electrons to form cation and thus form ionic bonds.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
