Fluoride Ion
-2 is the most common charge (sulphide ion).
A hydrogen ion (H+)
This ion is hydronium: (H3O)+.
The ion formed by a fluorine atom is called a fluoride ion, which has a charge of -1. It is formed when a fluorine atom gains an electron to achieve a full outer electron shell.
The most common ion formed by sulfur is the sulfide ion (S2-).
A positive ion is formed when atoms lose electrons. When a cell gains an electron it becomes negative
The ion formed by an arsenic atom is As3- (arsenide ion) when it gains three electrons or As3+ (arsenite ion) when it loses three electrons.
