I have no idea on how to do this here is the question (For the following pairs of atoms, show how they transfer valence electrons, the charge of each ion that results, and then write the formula of the compound they form:) and here is one example (Magnesium and Iodine)

uhh

Explanation:

i hope you find this answer

sry but any answer choices

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
