Which group of the periodic table is likely to form ions with a positive 1 charge?

Group one elements have one valence electron. In order to achieve a "happy" electron configuration, they try to lose this valence electron. Electrons have a negative charge, so once they lose this electron, they have a +1 charge.

∙ 11y agoGroup 1 elements or alkali metals have one valence electron. If they lose this electron, they will get the nearest noble gas configuration and hence they generally tend to form cations with +1 charge.

∙ 12y agoElements in Group 7A, or 17, also called the halogens, form 1- ions because they need one more electron to achieve a noble gas configuration and become stable. They have 7 valence electrons, so they easily gain one more to get 8 valence electrons. The additional negatively charged electron changes the atoms to ions with a 1- charge.

∙ 13y agobecause they have one electron in their outermost shell which can be easily removed and this removing electron form positive ions.

Which group in the periodic table will form cations with a 3 positive charge?
a group that forms anions with a -1 charge
What has a regular repeating pattern in the periodic table?
Group IA: +1 charge Group II2: +2 charge Group IIIB: +3 charge Group IVB: +4 charge Group VB: -3 charge Group VIB: -2 charge Group VIIB: -1 charge
What happens to the positive charge on the nucleus as you go left to right on the periodic table?
Electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right from group 1 to group 17 on the periodic table. The noble gases in group 18 generally don't have an electronegativity since they generally don't make compounds.
What is ionic charge of oxygen?
O2- The ionic charge of something can be determined by it's place in the Periodic Table. Elements in groups 1-3 have a positive charge the same as their group number, e.g. Magnesium (Mg) Is in group 2 so its charge is Mg2+ Elements in groups 5-7 have a negative charge equal to their group number -8 e.g. Oxygen is in group 6 (6-8=-2) So its charge is O2- The noble gases (Group 0) do not have an ionic charge.
What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
Which group in the periodic table will form cations with a 3 positive charge?
a group that forms anions with a -1 charge
What has a regular repeating pattern in the periodic table?
Group IA: +1 charge Group II2: +2 charge Group IIIB: +3 charge Group IVB: +4 charge Group VB: -3 charge Group VIB: -2 charge Group VIIB: -1 charge
Which of the above elements is a positive ion with a charge of one?
Elements in group one of the periodic table; Lithium, Sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and rubidium, will form ions with a positive charge of one.
What group of elemets will most likely form an ion with a -1 charge?
The halogens, listed in column 17 of a wide form periodic table.
What is the group cations on the periodic table whose charge is 3?
Group 3 and lanthanides.
What happens to the positive charge on the nucleus as you go left to right on the periodic table?
Electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right from group 1 to group 17 on the periodic table. The noble gases in group 18 generally don't have an electronegativity since they generally don't make compounds.
What is the charge of two ions of fluorine F2?
Ions such as fluorine always have a Negative charge- when looking at the periodic table you will see groups 8,7,6,5,4 and 3 on the right side. All noble gases in Group 8 have no charge, but going to the left: 7 = -1 charge 6 = -2 charge 5 = -3 charge 4 = -4 charge This only works for nonmetals, not transition metals so be careful. So, looking at Fluorine it is in Group 7 7 Nonmetals always have a -1 charge. 2 Fluorine Ions * -1 = -2 -2 is your answer. When it meets with a positive ion (Groups 1 and 2 on the left side of the periodic table), the two charges will need to balance. So the positive ion will need to be +2. This can happen naturally (positive ions in Group 2 are +2, so 2F and 1Ca will work) or because there are enough positive ions to balance the charge (positive ions in Group 1 are +1, so having 2F and 2Na will work). Good luck :)
In group 2 on the periodic table are they positive ions when they bond with other elements?
Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.
What is ionic charge of oxygen?
O2- The ionic charge of something can be determined by it's place in the Periodic Table. Elements in groups 1-3 have a positive charge the same as their group number, e.g. Magnesium (Mg) Is in group 2 so its charge is Mg2+ Elements in groups 5-7 have a negative charge equal to their group number -8 e.g. Oxygen is in group 6 (6-8=-2) So its charge is O2- The noble gases (Group 0) do not have an ionic charge.
