What charge do elements in group 1 of the periodic table have?

Answer 1

none of the elements in the Periodic Table have a charge unless they gain (- charge) or lose (+ charge) an electron, or they can get delta charges which depends on what they are bonded too, that is what i learned in A2 chem a few monthes ago

The above information is absolutely correct... but here is a bit more information specifically for group 1A elements. All elements in group 1A can have a +1 charge as ions. Group 1A elements, such as sodium (Na), have 1 valence electron in their outer shell. When forming ionic compounds, sodium ions tend to donate this one electron to an element (in ionic form) that has 7 electrons in its outer shell. Thus, satisfying each atoms octet rule (haveing 8 electrons in their outer shell), as well as forming a neutral ionic compound.

Answer 2

The group 1A elements (Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium), also known as the Alkali Metals, are all the elements that naturally have 1 valence electron (excluding hydrogen). In order to achieve electrical stability, all atoms want to have a full octet of 8 valence electrons. The easiest way for the Alkali Metals to do that is by losing their one valence electron, which they all do extremely readily (and often explosively). This removal of an electron removes 1 negative charge from these otherwise neutral atoms, leaving them with a net charge of +1.

Answer 3

all the elements of group 1 have only one valence electrn so they donate one electron and are always 1+

Answer 4

They make ions with charge of +1. They lose an electron to make positive ions.

Answer 5

The ions of the chemical elements from the group I (alkali metals) have a charge of +1.

Answer 6

Group 1 elements form cations. They have charge of +1.

Answer 7

Group 1, alkali metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, caesium, rubidium, francium; and hydrogen also.

Answer 8

One positive charge elements in group one have.They consist of one vacant electron which causes positive charge.Example is Lithium with 3 electrons.

Answer 9

These elements are monovalent forming cations Me+.

Answer 10

Charge of all elements in group 1 is +1.They have one electron in their valence shell which give to obtain positive charge.
