IF by charge you mean form ions with a charge pf -3, then nitrogen forms nitrides containing the N3- ion and some phosphides contain the P3- ion. If you mean an oxidation number of -3 this is true for all of the elemnts in group 15.

∙ 11y agoThe most common occurrence of single atom anions with a -3 charge is with nitrogen and phosphorus, the elements of wide form Periodic Table column 15 with no metallic character. Arsenic and antimony, the next two heavier elements in this periodic table column, also can form such anions.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe related link has several common ions. At the very bottom of the list are some anions with a -3 charge. Here are the ones that they list:
- Nitride ion (Nitrogen with 3 extra electrons)
- Phosphide ion (Phosphorous with 3 extra electrons)
- Phosphate ion (PO4)-3
- Borate ion (BO3)-3

What charge does group 15 have when it forms ions?
They generally form covalent compounds, but still they form -3 valency ions.
What are the ions like in calcium bromide?
Calcium ions have a charge of plus two, and bromine ions have a charge of minus one.
What are the charges for the main group elements?
Main group metals tend to lose electrons, forming a cation with the same number of electrons as the nearest noble gas. A main group nonmetal tends to gain electrons, forming an anion with the same number of electrons as the nearest, previous noble gas
The Group 7A elements form ions with a charge of?
The charge of group 7A elements when forming ions is -1 (negative 1).
What is the most common charge in a periodic table?
Elements listed in the periodic table of elements are neutral; they do not have a charge. When they undergo chemical reactions they may become charged ions. There is no single most common charge for ions, but the most common are -1, -2, -3, +1, +2 and +3.
What family forms ions with a charge of 3?
Elements in groups 3 and 13 in the periodic table and some transition metals are capable of forming +III ions.
Ions with a 2 plus charge?
two elements with ions with a 2 plus charge are Sulfurand Oxygen
What are the charges of ions in group1A?
When group 1A elements form ions, they form cations with a +1 charge.
What type of ions do the elements of group 1 form?
Group 1 elements are the alkali metals, which form ions wih a 1+ charge.
When group A elements form ions they?
lose 2 electrons and form ions with a 2+ charge.
Do elements in group 1 readily or rarely form ions?
Elements of group 1 readily form ions having a charge of +1.
When an atom becomes on ion with a two-charge the atom?
The group 2 elements form ions with a 2+ charge. For example, Mg2+ and Ca2+. The group 16 elements form ions with a 2- charge. For example, O2- and S2-.
What is the charge on the Sc ions in Sc2O3?
The charge on the Sc ions in Sc2O3 is 3+. This can be determined by recognizing that oxide ions always have a charge of 2-, and there are three of them, so the total oxide charge is 6-. There are two scandium ions, and since the compound must be neutral, the total charge on the two scandium ions has to be 6+, so the charge on each scandium ion is 3+.
What kind of elements can form ions with more than one charge?
Transition elements are the major group of elements with this property.
What type of ions do elements on the right side of the periodic table form?
cations = positively charged ions
