Question

Ions of the elements oxygen (O), sulfur (S), and selenium (Se) usually have charges of 2-. Ions of the elements fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), and bromine (Br) usually have charges of 1-.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Hello,

As long as the group VIA elements have 6 valence electrons (electrons at the outermost shell) they just need two electrons to attain the octate, it means that the resulting charge must be -2. In such a way, since VIIA elements have 7 valence electrons, they just need one electron to attain the octate, it means that the resulting charge must be -1.

Best regards.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer: Elements in the same group share certain properties, and each group has unique properties.
