Asap ! what is the expected ionic charge when group vi elements participate in ionic bonds? +6 -6 +2 -2

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

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
