What charge do all group 7 elements have when they form ions?

The most common valence is 2+ but other valences are also possible.


When forming an ion bromine is most likely to gain how many electrons?

Bromine is most likely to gain one electron when forming an ion, as it is in Group 17 of the periodic table (halogens) with 7 valence electrons. By gaining one electron, bromine achieves a stable octet and forms a Br- ion.


What element that has 7 valence electrons and is a non metal?

The element that has 7 valence electrons and is a nonmetal is chlorine (Cl). Chlorine is found in Group 17 of the periodic table, also known as the halogens. It is a highly reactive element and commonly forms compounds, such as sodium chloride (table salt), by gaining an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


When hydrogen reacts with the active metals it forms a chemical bond by?

gaining an electron


What is the most chemicaly reactive nonmetal element?

The elements in the group 17 are the most reactive non metals. In the group, the reactivity decreases downwards as the ionic radius increases. Therefore fluorine is the most reactive non metal.The halogens are the most reactive non metals. They are in the 17th group of the periodic table. Fluorine is the most reactive non metal.Chlorine is most reactive non metal.It is present in group-17. It forms bonds by gaining one electron.


What typically form ions with a 1- charge?

The halogen (group 17/VIIA) atoms form ions with a 1- charge when undergoing ionic bonding. An atom gains one electron from a metallic element, resulting in the metal developing an ion with a 1+ charge. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.


What is the valance electron for phosphorus?

Phosphorus has 5 valence electron. It forms anion by gaining 3 electrons.


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 kind of ion is formed by a halogen?

A halogen forms a negative ion, also known as an anion, by gaining an electron to achieve a full outer electron shell. This process allows the halogen to attain a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas.


What is the charge of a bromine ion?

A bromine ion has a -1 charge. That's because it is a halogen, and it is an electron "borrower" which wants to steal an electron to "complete" its outer electron shell. When it snags an electron to fulfill that tendancy of atoms to attain inert gas electron configuration, it ends up with that "extra" electron and a -1 charge. This is typical of all halogens, those elements that make up the Group 17 elements.


Bromine and sodium a bromine atom gains an electron and forms the bromide ion Br and ndash. What happens to bromine?

Bromine gains an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration and forms the bromide ion with a negative charge. This process is called reduction as bromine is gaining an electron.


If a new element were discovered and it was found to form 1 and minus ions in which group would you place it in the periodic table?

It would be placed in group 17 of non-metals.
