What is charge on the ions formed by group 7A nonmetals Explain why?
i hear they have -1 charges...but im still trying to figure out why
What type of ions are formed by non-metals?
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom tobecome negatively charged ions. (i.e. anion)You can visit igcsechem.webs.com (advanced) or ks3science.webs.com (basic) to learn more chemistry!
Do non-metals become positive or negative as ions?
It is possible to make positive ions of nonmetals e.g. oxygen, chlorine, by putting enough energy into them. They normally form negative ions when in a spontaneous reaction.
What happens to the size of nonmetals as they become ions?
The atom become higher.
The atoms of which elements tend to gain electrons?
Non-ionized (stable) nonmetals, or metal ions.
What kind of ions do metals form and what kind of ions do nonmetals form?
Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.

Can the term molecule be applied to both an ionic and a covalent bond?
No. Molecules are formed from covalent bonds, usually between nonmetals. Ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds from the electrostatic attraction of positively and negatively charged ions, generally between metals and nonmetals.
Are cations positive ions that are nonmetals?
Cations are electrically positive ions
What are formed when nonmetals combine with other nonmetals?
Ionic.
What do nonmetals do to form ions?
they accept electrons lost by metals to become ions
What form of atoms form an ionic bond?
An Ionic bond is formed by metals and nonmetals. When a metal reacts with a nonmetal, electrons are relocated. The metal loses its valence electrons and the nonmetals gain them. After, both ions formed will have full outer electron shells. The positive ion is attracted to the negative and a strong ionic bond is formed.
Do nonmetals gain or lose ions?
Yes. They can do both.
Are forms negative ions metals or nonmetals?
Nonmental

What is formed when two nonmetals combine?
A covalent bond is formed when two nonmetals combine.
Do nonmetals lose electron when they form ions?
No. They gain electrons
