What charge do halogens have when they become an ion?

Answer 1

-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

Answer 2

Halogens have a charge of -1 when they become an ion by gaining an electron to achieve a full outer electron shell. This gives them a stable configuration similar to the noble gases.

Answer 3

'-1'.

For all halogens the atom becomes an anion of '-1' ( X^(-1)).

Answer 4

The charge of halogens is -1. Halogens have 7 valence electrons and are eager to gain the last one to form an octet.

Answer 5

All halides are charged as minus one: (Hld)-

Example in KI, NaCl, CaF2 etc.: I-, Cl-, F- respectively.

Answer 6

When Ionized halogens most often form a minus 1 charge unless they are combined with themselves.

Answer 7

Halogens have 7 electrons in their outermost electron shell. They gain an electron to get the noble gas configuration. So they make ions with -1 charge.

Answer 8

All the halides are -1 when ionized.

Answer 9

They will produce a negative charge.

Answer 10

-1
