Boron
Carbon
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Flourine
Neon
Sodium
Magnesium
Aluminium
Silicon
Phosphorous
Sulfur
Chorline
Argon
Potassium
Calcium

Answer 1

The ease with which an element gives up electrons depends on first ionization energy for that element; those with the lowest first ionization energy give up their most loosely held valence electron most easily, whereas those with the highest first ionization energy give that electron up least easily. All you must do is find the ionization energy of each element in your list and pick the four lowest numbers for the first set and the four highest for the second. As other respondents have noted, first ionization energy is a periodic property, so generally the elements of the lower lefthand corner of the periodic table have low ionization energy, whereas those on the upper right have high ionization energy. Best wishes.

Answer 2

According to the preodic table, the left hand side bottom corner has the least eletronegativity so they give up electrons easily.
While, the right hand side top corner has the most electronegativity so they attract electrons easily.

Usually the iner gas are not counted to the tendency of attracting electrons.

Answer 3

Group 1 elements would give up easily.

Answer 4

group 1 elements give up the easiest, then it decreases to the group 8 elements (noble gases)

Answer 5

1) sodium, potassium, rubidium , caesium

2) helium, neon, argon, fluorine (not sure for the last)

Answer 6

argon, silicon, sodium, boron

Answer 7

SILICON
