Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the expected ionic charge when group VI elements participate in ionic bonds?

+6
-6
+2
-2

Answer 1

your answer is D. -2

Group 6 on the elements table are more likely to have more electrons. They could have something called an octet, which means 8. Finding the charge is easy. You know that the elements have 6 electrons, then you subtract 8 from the octet, so 6 - 8 = -2

So you would get -2 as your answer
