Group 15 elements have 5 valence electrons. They accept three electrons and form anions of -3 charge.
For example: N3- (nitride ion) or P3- (phosphide ion)

When forming ionic bonds atoms of elements in group VI tend to form ions with who?
They can form ionic compounds with halogens.
Why do group 4a elements tend to form covalent bonds?
Why does group 4A elements tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds? 
Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table?
Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table, for example Groups 1 and 17, form ionic compounds. Examples include LiCl, NaCl, KI, and RbBr. The elements in Group 1 are the alkali metals, and the elements in Group 17 are the halogens, which are nonmetals.
What block of the periodic table of elements tend to form type II ionic compounds?
The Center
What families tend to form ionic compounds?
i dunno my dumb teacher wants me to find out she should ask a dam scientist!
Do metalic elements and non-metalic elements form ionic bonds?
These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.
Why do the elements on the left hand side of the periodic table have a positive charge?
They tend to have low electronegativity which means they donate their electrons in ionic compounds. They are metals and when they have one or more less electrons than protons they will have a positive charge.

What Elements near the noble gases tend to form what bond?
If you think to halogens they form ionic bonds with metals.
The boiling points of ionic solids tend to be?
The boiling points of ionic solids tend to be very high.
Which group of elements tend to give up electrons and become positive?
True, non-metals would gain electrons to form anions with a negative charge.
Why is CaCl2 an ionic compound?
Yes it is. Ionic bonds tend to form between metals and nonmetals.
What do non metals and metals tend to do?
Metals and nonmetals tend to form ionic compounds by forming ionic bonds when they combine.
