The ionic charges of group 1 and 2 metals are +1 and +2 respectively. Group 15 & 16 the simple mono-atomic ions are -3 and -2. Group 17 ions are -1. This can be explained by the following elemnts in groups 1 and 2 lose 1 or 2 electrons respectively to achieve a noble gas configuration whereas groups 15, 16 and 17 gain electrons (3,2 1 respectively)

The most common type of ions areMonopositive cation for group 1 elements, Dipositive cation for group 2 elements, Trinegative anions for group 15 elements, Dinegative anion for group 16 elements and mononegative anions for group 17 elements.

They have 7 electrons in the outermost sub-shell. So the charge of their ions is -1.

Do p-block elements tend to form negative ions that have electron configurations resembling alkali metals or noble gases?

The p block elements are usually considered to include groups 13 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Of these the non metals N and P from group 15, O, S, Se from group 16 and all of group 17 form anions which have noble gas configurations. The metals generally form cations, the highest oxidation state these have noble gas configurations but many exhibit a lower oxidation state as well. The metalloids can form anions but these do not follow simple valency rules.
