Ionization can have any number of causes, resulting in any number of ionization states ranging from ±1 to ±(atomic number) for any given atom. In the given context, however, I would assume the actual question intended is, "What is the preferential ionic state of ionically bonded atoms in the VIA periodic family?" The answer to this question is -2.
What else can I help you with?
Is it positive to identify an atom by the number of protons it has?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom positively identifies the element of which the atom is an example, whether the atom is neutral or ionized.
What ion charge does a regular helium atom have?
A regular helium atom (He) has no ionic charge. The element in its standard form as it appears on the period table and in our everyday environment has two protons and two electrons. The positive charge of the protons cancel out the negative charge of the electrons, and so there is no charge left. Furthermore, helium is a noble gas, a family of elements which are extremely stable and will not react with anything under normal circumstances. If, however, an atom of helium where ionized in a lab, and stripped of its electrons, it would have a charge of plus two.
What is the overall charge of helium atom?
The overall charge on He is 0. It is a noble element.
What is the charge of the element I?
The atom is neutral; the anion has the charge -1.
What is the difference in the number of protons and electrons in an atom?
The number of protons (each has charge = +1) in an atom identify the element, e.g. hydrogen (1 proton), helium (2 protons), etc. If the number of electrons is the same, then the atom is neutral (total charge = 0). For example, a lithium atom has three protons in the nucleus (charge = +3) and three electrons (charges -1,-1,-1). The total charge is +3 -1 -1 -1 = 0. If the number of electrons is different than the number of protons, as when lithium would lose an electron, we say the lithium atom has been ionized--it is now a lithium ion and the charge is +3 -1 -1 = +1. If the lithium ion loses another electron, we would say it is doubly ionized or twice ionized and the charge would be +3 -1 = +2.
Which term is defined as an atom that has a charge?
Ionized atom Excited atom
What are the properties of a neutral atom and how does it differ from an ionized atom?
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no overall charge. An ionized atom has gained or lost electrons, creating a positive or negative charge. This difference in charge affects the atom's chemical behavior and reactivity.
What is an ionized atom?
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
What ionic charge does a regular atom of potassium have?
An ordinary atom of potassium has no charge.An ionized atom of potassium typically has a +1 charge.Different things.
Is it positive to identify an atom by the number of protons it has?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom positively identifies the element of which the atom is an example, whether the atom is neutral or ionized.
What is the net charge of an non-ionized atom?
The net charge? I'll assume you mean total/overall charge seeing as I have never heard such term... In an atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons and that one proton has the same positive charge value as an electron does a negative charge value. So I'm assuming that all atoms have no charge, zero, none, squat. Non-ionized also means the atom hasn't suffered electron exchange, so a non-ionized atom is really just an atom (which is word redundancy). This is what I know from AS level Chemistry, so I don't know if it's the same thing as more advanced chemistry (for university or something). Hope I helped
Can atoms be ionized by being excited?
No. When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.) An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron. But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.
What is is an ionized atom?
When an atom is ionized, that means that it is sharing one or more electrons with another atom.
An ion is an element that has a what charge?
An ion is an atom of any element that either has a positive or negative charge.

A regular helium atom (He) has no ionic charge. The element in its standard form as it appears on the period table and in our everyday environment has two protons and two electrons. The positive charge of the protons cancel out the negative charge of the electrons, and so there is no charge left.

If, however, an atom of helium where ionized in a lab, and stripped of its electrons, it would have a charge of plus two.
What happens if atom loses electron?
When an atom loses electrons it becomes ionized and more positive a charge. Losing an electron can cause this atom to react with other atoms.
When an atoms loses an electron it?
The atom is said to be ionized. (It can also be said to be oxidised.)
