Halons are a class of element, not a type of charge. As for why the halogens have the most stable charges, they don't - at least not all of them.

What is the ionic charge of Californium?

The most common ionic charge of Californium is +3. Californium typically loses three electrons to achieve a stable configuration.


What is the most common ionic charge for Na?

The most common ionic charge for sodium (Na) is +1, where it loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What charge do halogens have when they become an ion?

-1 charge.because they have seven valence electrons, halogens tend to share one electron or gain one electron to attain a stable, noble -gas electron configuration. they tend to form ions with a 1- charge


Ionic charge of lead?

Lead's ionic charge is variable. It is either +2 or +4 depending on the properties of the anions. These charges can also be referred to as "common ionic charge". Example of Pb+2 ionic charge: Lead(II) phosphide Pb+2 and P-3 Pb3P2 Example of Pb+4 ionic charge: Lead(IV) Sulfate Pb+4 and (SO4) -2 Pb2(SO4)4 simplified -> Pb(SO4)2


What are the most reactive families on the periodic table and why are they the most reactive?

The alkali metals Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium cesium and Francium is the most reactive group of metals. They are this way because they only need to lose one electron to gain a stable octet which is very favorable energetically. The most reactive group of non-metals is the halogens, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. These are the exact opposite. They are extremely reactive because they only need to gain one electron to gain a stable octet which is again, highly energetically favorable.

Which colume has 1- charge in period table?

I think what you are asking is about is which group on the periodic table has elements with an oxidation number of -1 in most ionic compounds. That is the 17th group - the halogens.


What forms ionic compounds?

Alkali metals , alkaline earth metals and halogens are most important ionic compound former .


What subscripts would you most likely use if an alkali metal and a halogen formed an ionic compound?

I would most likely use a +1 subscript for the alkali metal and a -1 subscript for the halogen in an ionic compound, as alkali metals typically form ions with a +1 charge and halogens typically form ions with a -1 charge.

Most halogens form compounds by what?

A halide ion is a halogen atom bearing a negative charge. The halide anions are Flouride (F-), Chloride (C-), Bromide (Br-), Iodide (I-) & Astatide (At-) such ions are present in all ionic halide salts.


What is the ionic charge of lead?

Lead can exist in several different ionic forms depending on the conditions. The most common ionic form of lead is Pb2+, which is the most stable oxidation state of lead. Lead can also exist in other oxidation states such as Pb4+ and Pb+.
