Answer:

this is what i got

Step-by-step explanation:

During the formation of some compounds, atoms gain or lose electrons, and form electrically charged particles called ions (Figure 1). ... Atoms of many main-group metals lose enough electrons to leave them with the same number of electrons as an atom of the preceding noble gas.
