The Alkaline metals (Group 1 metals).
This is because they all have one valence electron and to become more stable by completing their outer shells, it is easier to lose 1 electron than it is to gain 7.
Group that tend to form -1 ions include group VIIA
The charge of group 7A elements when forming ions is -1 (negative 1).
The Group 2 elements, or the Alkali Earth metals, tend to form +2 charges when they become ions. This is because Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons and it is easier to lose 2 electrons than it is to gain 6 electrons to form a full outer shell.
Group 1 elements are the alkali metals, which form ions wih a 1+ charge.
Transition elements are the major group of elements with this property.
Group that tend to form -1 ions include group VIIA
Group one, not including element 1 (helium) tend to form ions.
The charge of group 7A elements when forming ions is -1 (negative 1).
Elements of group 1 readily form ions having a charge of +1.
The Group 2 elements, or the Alkali Earth metals, tend to form +2 charges when they become ions. This is because Group 2 metals have 2 valence electrons and it is easier to lose 2 electrons than it is to gain 6 electrons to form a full outer shell.
The group 2 elements form ions with a 2+ charge. For example, Mg2+ and Ca2+. The group 16 elements form ions with a 2- charge. For example, O2- and S2-.
Group 1 elements are the alkali metals, which form ions wih a 1+ charge.
lose 2 electrons and form ions with a 2+ charge.
Transition elements are the major group of elements with this property.
When group 2A elements form ions, they lose two electrons. Some examples of group 2A elements include radium and magnesium.
When group 1A elements form ions, they form cations with a +1 charge.
The charge for all elements in Group 2A is +2.
