Best Answer

Radon not really can form an ion. This is because it is in the group 0, which is the inert/noble gases group. In this group all gases have a full octet which prevents them from reacting with other substances and so preventing them to have an ion. Group 1 has an ion of +1 as it has one electron in the valence shell while nothing such as +8 or -8 exists yet!

Happ to help ;).
