Elements that lose electrons in reactions have a positive ionic charge. There are exceptions to this, but I'll not over-complicate this!

The common ion charge of some elements in the periodic table is zero what does that tell you about the element?
That it does not gain or loose electrons.
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
Why do elements acquire positive charge on gaining electrons?
They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.

That it does not gain or loose electrons.
What is it called when a atom that has gained or lost and electron and now has a net electric charge?
When atoms (elements) gain or loose electrons, they become Ions. If an atom looses electrons it becomes +1 charge, whereas if an atom gains electrons it becomes -1 charge.
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
What are formed when elements gain or loose electrons?
ions

What particles come loose to make electric charge?
electrons
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
How are protons related to elements?
Protons are the positive charge electrons in atoms that make up elements.
Why do elements acquire positive charge on gaining electrons?
They do not. An electron is negatively charged and an atom can only acquire a negative charge on gaining electrons.
What charge results when specific elements become an ion?
Either it loose electron or gain and if loose then it get positive charge and if gain then be negatively charged ion
An atom with more electrons would have charge?
An atom with more protons than electrons will have a positive charge. Neutral atoms can loose electrons if they are subjected to some kind of energy. Sometimed illumination with the correct color of light is sufficient to knock electrons off atoms.
