Families Periodic Table

Which statement is true about the alkaline earth metal family?

• They have 2 valence electrons.

• They are found on the right side of the periodic table.

• They form -2 charges.

• They tend to gain valence electrons.

Which family of elements is least likely to gain or lose valence electrons because they do not chemically react?

• the noble gas family

• the halogen family

• the transition metals
