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.


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.


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

positive 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


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 is the oxidation number for all elements in this group?

Group 1 elements have an oxidation number of +1.


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.


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.


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.
