the question doesnt have an answer but hello to you to mrs.mcclain
Elements in group 17 of the periodic table are known as the halogens. The halogens include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. These elements are very reactive because of their electron configuration, which is one electron short of a more stable nobel gas configuration.
All of the transition metals are capable of forming multiple ions except for Zn, Cd and Ag.
Because each of them can form a cation with the electron configuration of a noble gas by donating one electron to another element.
Elements in group one of the periodic table; Lithium, Sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and rubidium, will form ions with a positive charge of one.
In water, which is a polar molecule, ions care surounded by water molecules depending on the charge of the ion. Positive ions form eletrostatic interactions with the oxygen in water and negative ions, with the hydrogens. Polar molecules are easily dissolved in water because they form hydrogen bonds, sort of the same principle behind the interactions that happen between ions and water molecules.
Because halogens form negative ions, alkali metals form positive ions; both are reactive elements and an electrostatic attraction exist.
Elements form ions by either gaining or losing valence electrons. The elements that lose electron(s) and gain electron(s) acquire a positive charge and negative charge respectively. The elements that lose and gain the least electrons require less ionization energy, and are more reactive than elements that need to lose or gain more electrons. For instance, elements in group 1 of the Periodic Table need to lose one electron, and are more reactive than elements in group 2 that need to lose 2 electrons.
Those to the far left of the periodic table Elements belonging to Group1 of the modern periodic table form positive ions easiest. They are called alkali metals because of their tendency to form strong bases. They include Hydogen, Sodium, Potassium, etc.
Group 1 elements are the alkali metals, which form ions wih a 1+ charge.
Elements form ions by either gaining or losing valence electrons. The elements that lose electron(s) and gain electron(s) acquire a positive charge and negative charge respectively. The elements that lose and gain the least electrons require less ionization energy, and are more reactive than elements that need to lose or gain more electrons. For instance, elements in group 1 of the Periodic Table need to lose one electron, and are more reactive than elements in group 2 that need to lose 2 electrons.
why atoms of group 0 elements do not form ions
Noble gases doesn't form ions.
Metals tend to form positive ions.
All the neutral atoms (except noble gases) are more reactive. To gain stability, they form ions; therefore, ions are less reactive.
Chloride ions would form elements with ions of metallic elements. For example, with sodium ions, chloride ions form sodium chloride.
Metals form positive ions because they easily lose their electrons.
Sodium and potassium are both highly reactive because they have only one outer shell electron which they lose very easily to form Na+ and K+ ions respectively. The sodium and potassium in the body are already in the form of these ions.
