Complete the table for ion charge based upon their losing or gaining electrons in the outer shell. (Use the periodic table as necessary.) Group Most Likely Ionic Charge # of Valence Electrons I +1 II +2 III +3 IV +4 or -4 V -3 VI -2 VII -1 VIII 0
This looks right to me what do you need help with??
Wait I'm confused @JMT , can you tell me what the roman numerals represent
The group on the periodic table
Ok and you need to know the amount of valence electrons in each group correct?
Correct
Ok so the group number is also the same number of the valence electrons of the elements in that group For example hydrogen is in group 1 and it has 1 valence electron
ohhh thanks
Np also be careful with helium because it appears in group 8 but it's actually in group 2 so it only has 2 valence electrons
