    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.
