When an atom becomes an ion does it affect its posistion in the periodic table?

No, absolutely not. The ion still has the same number of protons, which determines the element's position on the periodic table. The periodic table always stays the same.


What ions are formed with magnesium and sulfur?

Magnesium is located in Group II in the periodic table. Every element in Group II will form an ion with the charge of 2+ by losing two electrons. Hence, magnesium will form the magnesium ion: Mg2+. Sulfur is located in Group VI in the periodic table. Every element in Group VI will form an ion with the charge of 2- by gaining two electron. Hence, sulfur will form the sulfur ion: S2-.

Does fluorine tend to lose electrons?

Fluorine is a nonmetal. It is located in group 17 of the periodic table. It tends to obtain an electron to form the fluoride ion.Fluorine is the element with highest electronegativity. So it does not tend to lose electrons. It is in the 17th group of the periodic table.

What dictates the charge an ion will have?

depending on the valence electrons in the ion, and (if it is paired with other elements, like multi-atomic ions) what the charge of each element in the multi-atomic ion is. to find how many valence electrons an element has, just look at what group it is in in the periodic table. :) hope i helped!
