Ions are formed when elements either gain or lose their electrons. For example, Sodium (Na), since it has one electron in its outer shell (valence electron) it will be easier for the atom to lose its one valence electron and give it to an element that would want to gain that one electron, for example, Chlorine. This reaction of gaining or losing electrons would create an either negative ion (gained electrons) or a positive ion (lost electrons). For the example that I did, the element Sodium would lose its one electron in its outer shell making it Na +1 because it would have one more positive charge then it would negative charge.

What kind of ions do metalloids form?
Metalloids can form both positive and negative ions, depending on the element and the specific conditions. For example, metalloids like boron and silicon can form positive ions by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, while metalloids like arsenic and tellurium can form negative ions by gaining electrons.
What anions are identified by the complexes they form?
I am fairly sure the answer is Ag(+), Pb(2+), and Hg2(2+). Look at page 219 at the Halide Ions section.That's if you are doing Experiment 34 ("Common Anions") for Hazari.
What types of ions do noble gases tend to form?
They don't form any ion.
Will the hydrogen ion always combine with a water molecule?
No, hydrogen ions can combine with other molecules or ions besides water. For example, hydrogen ions can combine with hydroxide ions to form water, or they can bond with substances like ammonia or carbonates.
When an atom becomes on ion with a two-charge the atom?
The group 2 elements form ions with a 2+ charge. For example, Mg2+ and Ca2+. The group 16 elements form ions with a 2- charge. For example, O2- and S2-.
What element combined with chloride ion would form an ionic compound?
Chloride ions would form elements with ions of metallic elements. For example, with sodium ions, chloride ions form sodium chloride.
Can ionic compound exist in the form of ions?
In solutions, aqueous medium for an example, ionic compounds can exist as separate ions.
What kind of ions do metalloids form?
Metalloids can form both positive and negative ions, depending on the element and the specific conditions. For example, metalloids like boron and silicon can form positive ions by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, while metalloids like arsenic and tellurium can form negative ions by gaining electrons.
What is a substance that does not form ions and does not enhance the conductivity of water when it dissolves?
For example compounds with covalent bonds.
Do the ions combine in a 11 ratio?
No, ions combine in whole number ratios to form neutral compounds based on their charges. For example, in calcium chloride (CaCl2), calcium ions with a 2+ charge combine with chloride ions with a 1- charge in a 1:2 ratio to form a neutral compound.
What anions are identified by the complexes they form?
I am fairly sure the answer is Ag(+), Pb(2+), and Hg2(2+). Look at page 219 at the Halide Ions section.That's if you are doing Experiment 34 ("Common Anions") for Hazari.
What kind of ions do metals form and what kind of ions do nonmetals form?
Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.
What kinds of ions do acids and bases form in water?
Acids form hydrogen ions (H+) in water, while bases form hydroxide ions (OH-) in water. In addition to the hydrogen and hydroxide ions, acids and bases can also form other ions depending on the specific chemical composition of the acid or base.
What has positive ions and can form ionic compounds?
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.
What types of ions do noble gases tend to form?
They don't form any ion.
Does xenon form a monatomic ion?
Yes, xenon can form monatomic ions, known as xenon ions. Xenon can lose electrons to form positively charged xenon ions or gain electrons to form negatively charged xenon ions.
Most acids form ions in solution by , and most bases form ions in solution by?
