Yes, there is a pattern regarding ionic charge in the periodic table. Ionic charge is associated with the gain or loss of electrons by an atom to achieve a stable electron configuration. Elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. Within a single group, elements share similar electron configurations and tend to form ions with the same charge. For example, in Group 1, elements like sodium (Na), potassium (K), and lithium (Li) tend to lose one electron, resulting in a +1 charge. Similarly, in Group 17, elements like chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I) tend to gain one electron, resulting in a -1 charge.
