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.
What types of ions do different elements form?
Ions are cations (positive) or anions (negative).
How do positive and negative ions forms?
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
Is arsenic positive negative or neutral?
Arsenic atoms are neutral and they form ions with valency of three.
Why do oxygen atoms form negative ions?
Gaining 2 electrons gives the O atom the stable octet of electrons.
Negative ions form when atoms-blank-valence electrons?
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
Why do negative ions form?
Negative ions are formed when atoms accept electrons.
Why do some atoms form positive ions and some form negative ions?
Because they want to.
Will atoms of a non metallic element form positive or negative ions?
Positive ions
What types of atoms are usually become negative ions?
Non Metals
What are the two basic ways in which ions form from atoms?
Ions and Ionic bonds When these two types of atoms combine,electrons are transferred from one type of atom to the other. The transfer make both types of atoms more stable

How do positive and negative ions forms?
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have ____.?
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?
Yes, only if there are both ions with positive charges and ions with negative charges among the ionized atoms.
Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have?
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
