An element has six valence electrons. Which ionic charge will its ion carry?(1 point) Responses 6+ 6+ 6– 6– 2+ 2+ 2–

Answer 1

An element with six valence electrons is typically found in group 16 of the periodic table. To achieve a stable electron configuration, such as that of a noble gas, it will tend to gain two electrons.

Therefore, the ionic charge of its ion will be 2–.
