Explain why beryllium loses electrons while forming ionic bonds, while sulfer gains electrons

please use ionization in your answer. thanks

Basically Beryllium has a charge of 2+. Sulfur has a charge of 2-. If it has a positiive charge then it is most likely to lose electrons and if it has a negative charge it is most likely to gain electrons. That's because it's easier to lose 2 electrons than gain 6 other ones to fill the valence shell on Bery and vice versa for Sulf.

Real Answer:
Beryllium has a lower ionization energy than sulfur does.
