Answer:
Group 1 and 2 elements
Explanation:
Nitrogen, a non-metal will form ionic bonds with most group 1 and group 2 metals on the periodic table.
How does ionic bonds form?
- They are bonds formed between a highly electronegative specie and one with very low electronegativity.
- As such, ionic bonds forms between metals and non-metals
- In this bond type, the metal due to its electropositive nature will transfer electrons to the non-metals for it to gain.
- The non-metals becomes negatively charged as the metal is positively charged.
- The electrostatic attraction between the two specie leads to the formation of ionic bonds.
Most metals in group 1 and 2 fits in this description. Some of them are calcium, magnesium, lithium, Barium e.t.c.
It mostly favors group 2 metals.
