All group 1 elements have a +1 charge because they readily lose their outermost electron to achieve a full outer shell and attain a stable electron configuration.

The atomic charges of each group?

There's no charge within the atom of each group since there is a same number of electrons (negatively charged) and protons ( positively charged). The charge does not change unless after ionic bonding. The atomic charge changes depending on the reaction.


What charge would an ion have based on its group?

1: 1+ 2: 2+ 13: 3+ 14: 4+/- 15: 3- 16: 2- 17: 1- 18: Neutral Transition metals (elements between groups 2 and 13) are able to have varied charges that there is no real rule for.


When elements in Group 1 lose one electron to form ions with a (an) charge.?

positive charge.


What is the usual charge on an ion from group 7A?

The usual charge on an ion from group 7A (also known as group 17) is -1. This is because elements in group 7A, such as fluorine, chlorine, and bromine, typically gain one electron to achieve a full outer electron shell, resulting in a -1 charge.


What charge do elements in group 1 of the periodic table have?

none of the elements in the periodic table have a charge unless they gain (- charge) or lose (+ charge) an electron, or they can get delta charges which depends on what they are bonded too, that is what i learned in A2 chem a few monthes agoThe above information is absolutely correct... but here is a bit more information specifically for group 1A elements. All elements in group 1A can have a +1 charge as ions. Group 1A elements, such as sodium (Na), have 1 valence electron in their outer shell. When forming ionic compounds, sodium ions tend to donate this one electron to an element (in ionic form) that has 7 electrons in its outer shell. Thus, satisfying each atoms octet rule (haveing 8 electrons in their outer shell), as well as forming a neutral ionic compound.


How many electrons do group 1 elements lose to become ions?

Group 1 elements a.k.a. Alkali metals lose 1 electron to form 1+ ions


What is the oxidation number for all elements in this group?

Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1.


The Group 7A elements form ions with a charge of?

The Group 7A elements, also known as the halogens, typically form ions with a charge of -1. This is because they only need to gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the nearest noble gas.


What family of elements have one positive charge?

This is the group 1 - alkali metals.


What is the charge for elements in group 17?

Elements in group 17 of the periodic table are called halogens. They have a charge of -1 when they form ions by gaining one electron to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.


Can group 1 and 2 elements become cations when they form ionic bonds?

Yes, group 1 and 2 elements can become cations when they form ionic bonds. Group 1 elements, such as sodium, readily lose one electron to become sodium cations with a +1 charge. Group 2 elements, such as magnesium, lose two electrons to become magnesium cations with a +2 charge in ionic compounds.


What group of elements tends to form plus 1 charge?

The Alkaline metals (Group 1 metals). This is because they all have one valence electron and to become more stable by completing their outer shells, it is easier to lose 1 electron than it is to gain 7.
