What charge does an ion of an alkali metal have?
Your Alkali Metals are those elements on the leftmost column of the periodic table (except for Hydrogen). Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium, Cesium, Francium. You can remember them as those that form the Alkali bases, Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) among others. In Pure Metallic form, they would have a neutral charge. However, they are frequently found in ionic form where they loose an electron to form a positive ion with a +1 charge. Li+ Na+ K+ etc.
Why do halogens form compounds with alkali metals?
Because halogens form negative ions, alkali metals form positive ions; both are reactive elements and an electrostatic attraction exist.
How do you know if an ionic compound between an alkali metal with a nonmetal is done correctly?
Since all alkali metals form a 1+ ion, the number of alkali metal atoms in the formula should be equal to the charge on the negative ion.
What is the charge of all alkali metal ions?
Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. They will form ions with a 1+ charge. If you meant alkaline earth, they are found in group 2, and will form ions with a 2+ charge.
Which properties of alkali metals unusual metals?
Alkali metal forms Alkali while metals form bases.
When alkali earth metals form ions what charge do they have?
The answer is 2+

Which element when combined with fluorine most likely form an ionic compound?
Generally all metals, but mostly Alkali metals. This is because Alkali metals have a 1+ charge, and Fluorine has a 1- charge.
Why do halogens form compounds with alkali metals?
Because halogens form negative ions, alkali metals form positive ions; both are reactive elements and an electrostatic attraction exist.
What charge do metals have when they form a ion?
net negative charge

What are the charges of ions in group1A?
When group 1A elements form ions, they form cations with a +1 charge.
Alkali and alkaline earth metals both form ions what is the name for the type of ion they will form?
anion because they have -ve charge
Why alkali metals and alkali earth metals can form cation?
The properties of alkali earth metals and alkaline metals want to give up or share their valence electrons when bonding with a non-metal or polyatomic ion. For example, Sodium (Na) has a single valence electron, and if it bonds with Chlorine (Cl) which has seven valence electrons, Sodium would give up and share it's electron with Chlorine. Because an electron is negatively charged, and a proton, inside the nucleus, is positively charged, the Sodium atom has one less negative charge, and one more positive charge, rendering the ionic charge no longer neutral but +1. This is why metals are able to form cations.
What elements from the body form positive ions?
Metals typically form positive ions. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals form positive ions in ionic obnding whilst the transition metals form cations in a lattice of delocalised electrons.
