Metals (m) in group 2 of the periodic table form ionic bonds with nonmetals (x) present in group leading to formation of ionic compound with general formal of mx A) 15
B) 16
C) 17
D) 18

16

Explanation:

Metals in group 2 form ions of the sort M^2+. If they must form ionic compounds of general formula MX, then the non metal (X) must have a valency of 2 and form the ion X^2-.

Among the options listed, only elements of group 16 form ions of the sort  X^2-, hence they are able to form compounds of general formula MX with group 2 cations. Examples of such compounds include; CaS, MgS etc

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
