Which group of p block elements react to form halides?
halogens react to form halides
How do you find the charge of an atom with 7 valence electrons?
The halogens, group 17, have 7 valence electrons. When they form ions, they gain 1 more valence electron and become ions with a charge of 1-.
Why do halogens form compounds with alkali metals?
Because halogens form negative ions, alkali metals form positive ions; both are reactive elements and an electrostatic attraction exist.
What period 3 diatomic elements will form ions with a negative 2 charge?
Only chlorine has a diatomic molecule biut any ion is 2-..
Why group VIIA elements are called haolgens?
halogens mean salt-former halogens form inorganic salts easily
What charge do halogens have when they become an ion?
-1 charge.because they have seven valence electrons, halogens tend to share one electron or gain one electron to attain a stable, noble -gas electron configuration. they tend to form ions with a 1- charge
Is group 7A cations?
Halogens (group 7A) form ions with a 1- charge.
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 charge do Halogens posses?
-1
What group of elements tends to form negative ions that have a -1 charge?
Group that tend to form -1 ions include group VIIA
Do halogens form diatomic molecules?
Yes, halogens form diatomic molecules.
Why are halogens the most stable ionic charge?
Halons are a class of element, not a type of charge. As for why the halogens have the most stable charges, they don't - at least not all of them.
Why are halogens known as salts?
Halogens are not salts but they are chemical elements; halogens can form salts reacting with metals.
What family on the periodic table has a -1 charge?
halogens
Halogens combine with most metals to form salts?
Halogens combine with sodium to form salt that we eat.....
What are two prperties of the halogens?
They have low melting and boiling points which increases down the group. They form diatomic molecules They form simple ions with -1 charge They react with hydrogen to form acidic compound
Does fluorine form a positive or negative ion?
Negative (Fl-) All the halogens become negative ions.
