What is same about the positive ions and negative ions?
They both are ions and both have shared valence electrons
How do you find the charge of an atom with 7 valence electrons?
The halogens, group 17, have 7 valence electrons. When they form ions, they gain 1 more valence electron and become ions with a charge of 1-.
What are valence electrons and how do they relate to the noble gases?
Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell (or outermost energy level or outermost orbital) in an atom. Noble gases have 8 valence electrons. But helium (a noble gas) has only 2 valence electrons.
What do you call the electrons located in an atom-ions outer most energy level?
Valence electrons.
What are positive and negative ions called?
Positive ions are called cations. Negative ions are called anions.
Negative ions form when atoms-blank-valence electrons?
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.

Lithium valence electrons type of ions formed?
Li +
What do metals do when they become ions?
They lose their valence electrons. i think...

Valence electrons.
What is meant valence electron?
A valence electron are electrons on the outer most shell/oritals of an atom. Basicly they are the electrons on the outside of an atom. Valence electrons are very important when involving chemical bonds and ions.
What are positive and negative ions called?
Positive ions are called cations. Negative ions are called anions.
How do magnesium ions get there charge?
Magnesium ions get their charges by giving away the valence electrons to other atoms.
Why do atoms change to ions?
Because they either lose or gain valence electrons.
Why do atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
It is a matter of how full an atom's outer or valence shell of electrons is. For most atoms, the most stable setup is one with a full shell of 8 valence electrons, and an atom will gain or lose electrons to achieve this. For atoms with close to 8 valence electrons, such a chlorine (7 valence electrons, it is generally easier to gain electrons and thus become negatively charged. For atoms with few valence electrons, such as sodium (1 valence electron), it is easier to lose electrons and go down to the next lowest shell, which is already full.
