Either it loose electron or gain and if loose then it get positive charge and if gain then be negatively charged ion

Do elements have bonds?

No, an element has no charge. However, elements can lose or gain electrons to become a charged ion.


What is the most common charge in a periodic table?

Elements listed in the periodic table of elements are neutral; they do not have a charge. When they undergo chemical reactions they may become charged ions. There is no single most common charge for ions, but the most common are -1, -2, -3, +1, +2 and +3.


Do elements have a negative electrical charge?

No. elements and all other mater will normally have no charge.

If a metal loses electrons to a non metal during a chemical reaction the metal and non metal become ions What is the charge on the different ions and why are the ions held together?

The charge on each of the ions formed depends on the specific elements involved. The ions are then held together by the electrostatic attraction between the opposite charges (positive and negative) (called an ionic bond).


What is the charge of an atom in an elements?

neutral


What charge do elements that loose electrons have?

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

What happens to materials that become negative in charge?

If they change charge they become ions


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.


What is the charge of all atoms in the periodic table?

As they exist in nature, elements usually have no charge. However, there are certain tendencies of elements to become anions (ions with negative charges) or cations (ions with positive charges) based upon their individual compositions. Imagine the periodic table and it's groups. The transition metals in the middle of the table form various cations that are not easy to predict. Therefore, we can't represent all transition metals as their own group with one specific charge. But, we CAN do that for some other groups: Group 1 elements (Li, Na, K etc.) have similar chemical properties that make them "want" to have a charge of +1. Group 2 elements form 2+ ions, and Group 3 elements form 3+ ions. Group 4 elements may have a charge of either 4+ or 4- and need to be memorized. The elements that form negative ions are in Group 6 (2- charge) and Group 7 (1- charge). Noble gases have their outermost energy levels full of electrons and are "balanced" and thus have a very low tendency to become ions. In order to reasonably assume the charge of an element in an equation, you have to consider the other elements it will be reacting with and take into consideration their properties as well. For example, when Hydrogen and Oxygen combine to form water, two Hydrogen atoms bond with one Oxygen atom. Say you remember that Oxygen is in Group 6 on the periodic table and Group 6 elements have a 2- charge. Say you also remember that Hydrogen is a noble gas without a charge listed. Since the Oxygen atom has a 2- charge, each Hydrogen atom will have to have a +1 charge to attract to the oxygen and bond with it (this is because molecules like to be neutral and form a net charge of zero).


The Group 7A elements form ions with a charge of?

The charge of group 7A elements when forming ions is -1 (negative 1).
