When halogens form ions, they are called halide ions. These types of ions have a negative charge due to gaining electrons.
Magnesium ions have a charge of 2+ and will react with negative ions to form ionic compounds with an overall charge of 0.
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.
The group 2 elements form ions with a 2+ charge. For example, Mg2+ and Ca2+. The group 16 elements form ions with a 2- charge. For example, O2- and S2-.
Elements of group 1 readily form ions having a charge of +1.
This means that there are two bromines in magnesium bromide, much like there are two hydrogens in water, H2O. This occurs because when magnesium forms an ion it has a charge of (+2), and when bromine forms an ion, it has a charge of (-1), Thus, it takes 2 bromines to neutralize the charge of the magnesium.
When halogens form ions, they are called halide ions. These types of ions have a negative charge due to gaining electrons.
Ammonium ions have a charge of +1 and Chromate ions have a charge of -2. When these ions react, they form Ammonium Chromate; 2NH4CrO4
There is no charge.They do not form ions.
When group 1A elements form ions, they form cations with a +1 charge.

Magnesium ions have a charge of 2+ and will react with negative ions to form ionic compounds with an overall charge of 0.
lose 2 electrons and form ions with a 2+ charge.
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.
false
The charge is 0 if the positive and negative charges were equal
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
