-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

'-1'.
For all halogens the atom becomes an anion of '-1' ( X^(-1)).

What kind of ion is formed by a halogen?
A halide ion is a hydrogen atom with a negative charge.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
What charge does a bromide ion have?
Br-, like the other halogens F-, Cl-, Br-, I-. They would obtain one electron to have noble gas electron configuration. Therefore, one negative charge.
What elements will most likely form an ion with a plus 1 charge?
Sodium (Na), Lithium (Li), or Potassium (K).
Does fluorine form a positive or negative ion?
Negative (Fl-) All the halogens become negative ions.
What kind of ion is formed by a halogen?
A halide ion is a hydrogen atom with a negative charge.
When using periodic chart indicate the most common charge Cl?
Chlorine is the member of the halogens family; the electrical charge of the chloride ion (Cl-) is -1.
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 is the charge of a bromine ion?
A bromine ion has a -1 charge. That's because it is a halogen, and it is an electron "borrower" which wants to steal an electron to "complete" its outer electron shell. When it snags an electron to fulfill that tendancy of atoms to attain inert gas electron configuration, it ends up with that "extra" electron and a -1 charge. This is typical of all halogens, those elements that make up the Group 17 elements.
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.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
An atom that has charge?
No. Elements are naturally neutral, no positive or negative charges. If an element loses or gains an electron, than it becomes an ion. A cation is a positively charged ion, and an Anion is a negatively charged ion.
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
What charge does a bromide ion have?
Br-, like the other halogens F-, Cl-, Br-, I-. They would obtain one electron to have noble gas electron configuration. Therefore, one negative charge.
What charge results when specific elements become an ion?
Either it loose electron or gain and if loose then it get positive charge and if gain then be negatively charged ion
What is the main difference between an atom and an ion?
Basically, an ion is when the charge of an element is not what it would normally be. So if you took oxygen, which is naturally a -2 charge, and it lost an electron, it would become an oxygen ion with a charge of -1.
