What else can I help you with?
Does an alkaline earth metal element form an ion with a charge of -1?
Alkaline earth metals form cations withe the electrical charge +2.As an exceptional curiosity exist the ion Ca-.
Valency of bromide?
Bromine forms anion. It gets a charge of -1 to form bromide ion.
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
Transition metals most often form ions with what charge?
most transition metals form ions with a 2+ charge.
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.
What ions form an ion with a charge of 1 plus?
Many different chemical species can form an ion with a plus 1 change. The most common example of cations of this type are the alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium.
What elements will most likely form an ion with a plus 1 charge?
Sodium (Na), Lithium (Li), or Potassium (K).
Does fluorine form an ion with a positive charge?
No, fluorine forms a negatively charged ion, F-. Like all non metals, fluorine tends to acquire electrons, and thereby acquires an added negative charge.
What is the usual ion form of fluorine?
The usual ion form of fluorine is the fluoride ion, which has a charge of -1.
Why can silicon form a positive or negative 4 ion?
This is because it is a semi metal or metalloid.Silicon has a high melting and boiling point which is a characteristic of metals and it does not conduct electricity which is a conductor of electricity.So since it has characteristics of both metals and non metals it can form both cations and anions.
What kind of atoms what typically form an ion the bond?
metals and non-metals
What is formed by an oxygen atom and called an oxide ion?
An oxygen atom that gains two electrons forms an oxide ion, which has a charge of -2. This occurs when oxygen typically reacts with metals or non-metals to form ionic compounds called oxides.
