the charge on all alkali metal ions is 1 +
One.
Since all alkali metals form a 1+ ion, the number of alkali metal atoms in the formula should be equal to the charge on the negative ion.
Alkali metals lose one electron when it becomes an ion.
As an alkali metal francium form the cation Fr+. A specific name doesn't exist. Transformation in a cation involve the loss of an electron.
Table salt is formed from sodium ion ( an alkali metal) and chloride ion ( a halogen)
Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. They will form ions with a 1+ charge. If you meant alkaline earth, they are found in group 2, and will form ions with a 2+ charge.
Since all alkali metals form a 1+ ion, the number of alkali metal atoms in the formula should be equal to the charge on the negative ion.
Li ion has a charge of +!, lithium is in group 1, an alkali metal
This alkali metal is lithium (Li).
Alkali metals lose one electron when it becomes an ion.
What charge would you find on a Group 2 ion?
A metal ion is an ion made out of metal. the metal ion in Na 2 S is Sodium
Just look at the number of the family it is in, like alkali metals have a 1, alkaline earth metals have a 2, and aluminum has a 3. Then just put a plus sign in front of it and you have the charge of the ion.
As an alkali metal francium form the cation Fr+. A specific name doesn't exist. Transformation in a cation involve the loss of an electron.
Table salt is formed from sodium ion ( an alkali metal) and chloride ion ( a halogen)
Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. They will form ions with a 1+ charge. If you meant alkaline earth, they are found in group 2, and will form ions with a 2+ charge.
Alkali metals possess +1 charge. Alkaline earth metals have +2 and aluminium has +3 charge.
