Group 1A: +1 charge because it lost an electron (more protons than electrons).

2A: +2 " " " " 2 electrons.

3A: +3 " " " " 3 "

4A: Can lose or gain 4 electrons depending on the element.

5A: -3 charge becuase it gained 3 electrons.

6A: -2 charge " " " 2 " .

7A: -1 charge " " " 1 " .

Be careful about Transition Metals. They can have various charges. Ex. ( Fe = Iron can have a +2 or even a +3 charge. Au = Gold, can have a + (equals 1) or +3 charge.

8A are the noble gases.

What is the charge of all alkali metal ions?

Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. They will form ions with a 1+ charge. If you meant alkaline earth, they are found in group 2, and will form ions with a 2+ charge.


When one metal ion shares electrons with anthor metal ion it is called?

Metal ions do not share electrons with one another. Metal ions have a positive charge.


If a metal loses electrons to a non metal during a chemical reaction the metal and non metal become ions What is the charge on the different ions and why are the ions held together?

The charge on each of the ions formed depends on the specific elements involved. The ions are then held together by the electrostatic attraction between the opposite charges (positive and negative) (called an ionic bond).


Which metal has a charge of plus 3?

The most familiar one is aluminum, which can form ions with a charge of plus 3, for example in compounds such as aluminum oxide.


What is the charge on alkaline-earth metal ions?

Alkaline-earth metal ions typically have a charge of +2. This is because they lose two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in a 2+ charge. Examples of alkaline-earth metals include calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and barium (Ba2+).


What are the top ways of identifying metal ions?

They have a positive charge. All metals form positive ions.


Does sulfate ion have negative charge because it has gained 2 electrons?

When it gain electrons, it loses ions. (non-metal) Where as when it loses electron, it gains ions. (metal)


What rule of thumb is used to determine to charge on non metal ions?

Non-metal ions typically have a charge that corresponds to the number of electrons they need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration, usually by gaining enough electrons to fill their outermost energy level. For example, elements in Group 15 usually gain three electrons to form ions with a 3- charge, while those in Group 17 usually gain one electron to form ions with a 1- charge.


What is the charge on alkaline earth metal ions?

Alkaline earth metal ions typically have a charge of +2. This is because they lose two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of noble gases. Examples of alkaline earth metals include calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and barium (Ba2+).
