The group on the Periodic Table that generally has a 2- charge is the chalcogens. This is the group that contains oxygen, sulfur, etc. Despite this, these elements can have different oxidation states.

∙ 14y agoThe group that forms 2+ ions is the alkaline earth metals. These metals lose two electrons in order to have a stable noble gas configuration. Elements in this group are magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium (which is radioactive).

∙ 11y agoThe elements in group 16 on the periodic table will form -2 ions. These elements have 6 valence electrons, which means they need 2 more to achieve noble gas electron configuration. When they gain these 2 electrons, they will have a -2 charge (remember, electrons are negative.) Group 16 consists of oxygen and sulfur (far and away the 2 most common), as well as selenium, tellurium, and polonium (a lot less common.)

Which element is most likely to form an anion?
All the elements in groups 14-17 form anions. They all gain an electron. For example out of the these elements: F would be most likely because its the only one that is in a group 17. All the others wouldn't gain one. Because they are in groups 2,13,1,1. All the elements in groups 14-17 form anions. They all gain an electron. For example out of the these elements: F would be most likely because its the only one that is in a group 17. All the others wouldn't gain one. Because they are in groups 2,13,1,1.
Which groups of elements are most likely to be held together by covalent bonds?
Non metals (groups 17, 16, 15)
Do elements in a group have different charges?
All the elements in the periodic table of elements are electrically neutral; they do not have charges as elements, although they have the potential to engage in chemical reactions that will turn them into charged ions, in most cases. The different groups tell you what kinds of chemical reactions the elements are capable of, not what kind of charge they have.
What is the most common charge of elements for lithium?
Lithium generally has a charge of +1.
What is the most likely charge on an ion when hydrogen forms an ion?
Most likely, hydrogen will form a cation, meaning it will have a positive charge of +1
What groups of elements is most likely to contain elements that will be found free in nature?
The noble gases.

How do you find the most similar elements in the periodic table?
In the periodic table, the elements are grouped according to their properties. Elements in a group has an equal number of valence electrons. So the elements in a group have most common chemical properties.
What are two groups of elements?
There are three types of elements: metals, metalloids, and nonmetals. Most elements are metals.
What is the most common charge of elements for Phosphorous?

Indicate the most common charge of elements?
-2
