How do you use the periodic table to find the charge of an anion?

It is really simple. For the groups 1A and 2A, the charges will be +1 and +2 respectively. For example, Na (sodium) is in group 1, therefore it has a charge of (Na)+ . Ca (calcium) is in group 2, therefore it has a charge of (Ca)+2 .
The groups that have a B after the number are called transition metals because they form cations with various charges. For the metals in group 3A (Aluminum, Gallium and Indium will have 3+ charge). However, Thallium, which is in the same group can have different charges of (+1 and +3).
Now for the NON metals from groups 4A to 7A is easy to predict the charge because the elements in group 8A are called noble gases, which do NOT have charge, they are inert. The elements in group 7A will have -1 charge, the elements in group 6A will have -2 charge, the elements in group 5 will have -3 charge, the elements 4A will have -4 charge.
REMEMBER THAT THIS ONLY APPLIES FOR NON METALS.

group15 has 3- , group16 has 2- and group17 has -1 charge

What the is an anion and where can you find it in the periodic table?
periodic table
What is an anion and where can you find it on the periodic table?
anions are negatively charged species anions are not seen on the Periodic Table. however the elements on the right end of the periodic table (except for noble gases, group 18) have a strong tendency to accept electrons are become anions
What is the symbol and name for barium in the periodic table?
Ba. You'll find this in your copy of the periodic table of the elements.
Why cant you find H2O in your periodic table?
H2O isn't a single element, which is what the periodic table Most things are made of compounds of these elements. . It is comprised of 2 hydrogen atoms (H, on the periodic table) and oxygen (O, on the periodic table).
Where would you look on a periodic table to find non-metals?
Nonmetals are to the right of the metalloids on the periodic table.

Where do you find groups on a periodic table?
groups are the vertical columns on the periodic table
Where will you find larger atoms on the periodic table?
In the left corner down of the periodic table.
Where to find ions and atoms on the periodic table?
Not true I am trying to find the same thing out but I no for a fact they are both on a periodic table.
How would you find the grams on the periodic table?
The periodic table doesn't show grams; and which grams ?
Were on the periodic table can you find the metals?
No
Where can you find the elements?
On a periodic table.
How many examples of the Periodic table can you find?
I can find only two types The Mendeleves Periodic table based on Atomic weight of elements and The Modern Periodic table based on Atomic number of elements.
Where are rare elements on a periodic table?
you find the ones that have been added to the periodic table in the old days
How do you find a single compound in the periodic table?
You don't: The periodic table is a format for displaying elements, not compounds.
