∙ 9y agoThe elements in the group 4A of the Periodic Table include carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, lead and the artificially produced ununquadium. These elements can form ions as they are able to gain and lose electrons.

∙ 14y agoThey do not naturally form ions. According to the Octet Rule each atom will want to get a full outer shell of electrons. Most of the time this is eight electrons. The noble gases already have a full outer shell and therefore will not will not lose or gain electrons. Any loss or gain of electron would not satisfy the octet rule.

Which group of the periodic table is likely to form ions with a positive 1 charge?
Group one elements have one valence electron. In order to achieve a "happy" electron configuration, they try to lose this valence electron. Electrons have a negative charge, so once they lose this electron, they have a +1 charge.
What are the relationship between the group number the types of ions formed?
For s and p block elements, in groups 1 to 3 the group number is equal to the number of positive charges formed when the element loses electrons, and for groups 5, 6 and 7, the number of negative charges is equal to (8 - group number).
How many valence electrons does group 8 have?
Elements in group 8 all have 8 valence electrons, this is why these elements are in group 8, they are called noble gases, some examples are Argon, Xenon,
What charge do elements in group 1 of the periodic table have?
none of the elements in the periodic table have a charge unless they gain (- charge) or lose (+ charge) an electron, or they can get delta charges which depends on what they are bonded too, that is what i learned in A2 chem a few monthes agoThe above information is absolutely correct... but here is a bit more information specifically for group 1A elements. All elements in group 1A can have a +1 charge as ions. Group 1A elements, such as sodium (Na), have 1 valence electron in their outer shell. When forming ionic compounds, sodium ions tend to donate this one electron to an element (in ionic form) that has 7 electrons in its outer shell. Thus, satisfying each atoms octet rule (haveing 8 electrons in their outer shell), as well as forming a neutral ionic compound.
Why do elements in group 18 rarely react with other elements?
Elements in Group 18 already have an octet of electrons, which is a full outer shell of 8 electrons. An octet of electrons makes the element stable, so it does not need to react with any other elements to gain or lose electrons.
Do elements in group 8 readily or rarely form ions?
Group 8 rarely forms ions since it has steal/lose more electrons to follow the octet rule (having eight valence electrons).
In many compounds atoms of main group elements form ions so that the number of electrons in the outermost energy levels of each ion is?
8
What kinds of elements form anions after ionic bonding?
Most of the elements in the top right of the period table (but not "group 8" - the furthest column to the right) will readily form anions (negatively charged ions) that can then form ionic bonds. Examples are O, N, P and S
What kind of elements forms anions after ionic bondings?
Most of the elements in the top right of the period table (but not "group 8" - the furthest column to the right) will readily form anions (negatively charged ions) that can then form ionic bonds. Examples are O, N, P and S
What type of elements form ions?
It can be. An ion is an atom with more or less electrons than protons. But having 8 valence electrons (simply) means it has a full outer shell. But the noble gases already have a full shell without being an ion.
Why can't group 4 metals form ions?

What are some uses of group 8 elements?
they have one valence electron, and they form ions with a 1+ change.they have one valence electron, and they form ions with a 1- charge.they have one valence electron, and they form ions with a 2+ charge.they have one valence electron, and they form ions with a 2- charge.

How does the octet rule relate how active an element is?
The octet rule states that all elements form ions to reach 8 valance electrons, or the nearest noble gas. If an element is a noble gas, it already has 8 valance electrons, therefore does not need to form ions to bond with other ions, thus becoming un-reactive.

Group one elements have one valence electron. In order to achieve a "happy" electron configuration, they try to lose this valence electron. Electrons have a negative charge, so once they lose this electron, they have a +1 charge.
What are the relationship between the group number the types of ions formed?
For s and p block elements, in groups 1 to 3 the group number is equal to the number of positive charges formed when the element loses electrons, and for groups 5, 6 and 7, the number of negative charges is equal to (8 - group number).
