Do you notice a pattern in the charge for elements in each group? Explain.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Below are some patterns in the charge for elements in each group.

Group 1 elements : 1 valence electron and form ions with charge +1

Group 2 elements : 2 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 2

Group 3 elements : 3 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 3(there are some exceptions as well)

Elements in groups 4 and 5 are unpredictable also the D block elements consist of multiple oxidation states..

Group 6 elements : 6 valence electrons, form ions with charge -2

Group 7 elements: 7 valence electrons, form ions with charge -1  

The octet rule is being followed, the elements form either ionic bond or covalent bond to fulfill it.

eg: when a K atom forms a K+ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ar (argon).

When an O atom gains 2 electrons to form the O²⁻ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ne (neon).  

Note: Boron (B) is in Group 3 but doesn't form ions.
