When bromine atoms form ions, they typically gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in a bromide ion (Br⁻). Therefore, the expected charge for bromine when it forms an ion is -1. This is consistent with its position in Group 17 of the Periodic Table, where elements generally form anions with a charge of -1.
When halogens form ions, they are called halide ions. These types of ions have a negative charge due to gaining electrons.
Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. They will form ions with a 1+ charge. If you meant alkaline earth, they are found in group 2, and will form ions with a 2+ charge.
Non-metal ions typically have a charge that corresponds to the number of electrons they need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration, usually by gaining enough electrons to fill their outermost energy level. For example, elements in Group 15 usually gain three electrons to form ions with a 3- charge, while those in Group 17 usually gain one electron to form ions with a 1- charge.
Ions form when electrons are transferred between atoms, resulting in a difference in the number of protons and electrons. This creates ions with either a positive charge (cation) or a negative charge (anion) based on the imbalance of electrons.
None of them have a negative charge. Or a positive charge. They can be ionized by high voltages, as (for example) neon is in a neon sign. However, neon doesn't have a monopoly on that, all of them exhibit the same behavior.
When halogens form ions, they are called halide ions. These types of ions have a negative charge due to gaining electrons.
When group 1A elements form ions, they form cations with a +1 charge.
There is no charge.They do not form ions.
This means that there are two bromines in magnesium bromide, much like there are two hydrogens in water, H2O. This occurs because when magnesium forms an ion it has a charge of (+2), and when bromine forms an ion, it has a charge of (-1), Thus, it takes 2 bromines to neutralize the charge of the magnesium.
false
lose 2 electrons and form ions with a 2+ charge.
Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. They will form ions with a 1+ charge. If you meant alkaline earth, they are found in group 2, and will form ions with a 2+ charge.
Phosphorus in its elemental form does not have a negative charge. However, in chemical compounds, phosphorus can form ions with a negative charge, such as phosphate ions (PO4^3-).
Phosphoric acid has a charge of -3, as it has three hydrogen ions that can ionize to form H+ ions.
false
The charge is 0 if the positive and negative charges were equal
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
