The element that can form halide ions is typically a halogen, such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine, or iodine. These elements have seven valence electrons and can gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in the formation of negatively charged halide ions (e.g., Cl⁻, F⁻, Br⁻, I⁻). Halide ions are commonly encountered in various chemical compounds and reactions.
What else can I help you with?
How do the basic particles of a compound Differ from the basic particle of an element?
If you think to atoms they are similar. But in compounds atoms can form ions.
What charge do the halogens form?
When halogens form ions, they are called halide ions. These types of ions have a negative charge due to gaining electrons.
Are atoms of the same element but with different masses are called ions?
No, atoms of the same element but with different masses are called isotopes. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net electric charge.
What is wrong with the statement ''the atoms of element X are isoelectronic with the atoms of element Y?
The statement is incorrect because isoelectronic means having the same number of electrons, but atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons and electrons. Elements X and Y can have the same number of electrons in their ions, but not in their neutral atoms.
isotopes are the same as ions?
Isotopes are atoms of an element having different number of neutrons.Ions are atoms with an electrical charge.
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
Will atoms of a non metallic element form positive or negative ions?
Positive ions
Must atoms of two different elements form ions of the same charge to form a compound element?
no

Do ions of the same element have the same number of valence electrons?
Atoms of the same element do, but some ions do not. Iron forms 2+ and 3+ ions
What form of atoms or molecules form ionic bonds?
Ions, charged atoms
Why should you not expect the halides ions to dissolve in mineral oil?
halide ions strongly interact with the counter-ions. However, mineral oil is non-polar. To dissolve the halide ions (and the counter-ions) into mineral oil would drastically raise system energy. Thus it does not work. More simply, halide ions have a charge and won't easily dissolve in non-polar substances, since like-dissolves-like.
Which atoms form ions most easily?
unstable atoms
Why is silver nitrate added to halide salts?
Silver nitrate is added to halide salts to test for the presence of halide ions. When silver nitrate is added, a precipitation reaction occurs where silver halide compounds are formed. The color of the precipitate that forms can help identify the type of halide ion present in the salt.
