Halogens and alkali metals are likely to form ions because of their amount of valence electrons. Halogens (group 7A) all have 7 valence electrons. Alkali metals (group 1) have 1 valence electron. Only noble gases have a "stable octet", where they have 8 valence electrons in the outermost energy shell/level. Therefore, Halogens and alkali metals form ions to act like a noble gas.

Alkali metals have 1 valence electron, while halogens have 7 valence electrons. These are each 1 electron away from the 8 valence electrons that noble gasses posses, and since all atoms want to have a full outer shell like noble gasses, halogens and alkali metals are most likely to form ions.

Alkali metals- 1 valence. Halogens-7 valence both 8 valence electrons that noble gasses have. Since all atoms want to have a full outer shell like noble gasses, halogens and alkali metals are most likely to form ions.

Halogens and alkali metals are likely to form an ion because halogens have 7 valence electrons and alkali metals have 1 valence electrons so they are likely to gain or lose an electron to have an outermost shell like the noble gases which has 8 valence electrons.

The reason why halogens and alkali metals are more likely to form ions is because both of these categories are just one electron away from the noble gases. Halogens are in group 7A which is just one electron(or anion) away from group 8A which the noble gases belong to. The same goes for alkali metals as they are in group 1A which is also just one electron (or cation) away from the noble gases. And according to the octet rule, all elements are trying to become just like the noble gases by having 8 valence electrons in order to be"perfect".

Halogens and alkali metals are more likely to from ions since halogens have 7 valence electrons, it's close to gaining 1 extra valence electron to becoming a "noble gas". According to the octet rule, having 8 valence electrons are stable and are trying to be like the noble gases. Alkali metals are also easier to lose their valence electron so they can gain atomic stability.

Alkali metals and halogens are more likely to form because they either have an extra, or lack one more electron for its valence shell. Halogens are in the 17th group, or 7A, and they all have 7 valence electrons. They lack one more valence electron from completing its shell. Alkali metals are in the 1st group, and have one extra electron

Halogen and alkali metals are more likely to form ions because halogen metals contain 7 valence electrons and alkali metals contain 1 valence electrons. Elements that want to be noble gases must have a total of 8 valence electron. Halogen metals only need to gain one more electron to reach the 8 valence electron noble gas in group 8A. Alkali metals will only need to lose one valence electron to be at their respected noble gas.

Halogen and akali metals are more likely to form ions because both of the groups either need to gain 1 electron or lose 1 electron from their outermost shell in order to be like a noble gas. The goal for every atom is to have 8 valence electrons because of the octet rule which makes the atom "complete".

Halogens only need to gain one valence electron and alkali needs to lose one valence electron to become a stable octet. It takes more energy for alkali to gain 7 more electrons and halogens to lose their electrons so it's easier to gain/lose one.

According to the octet rule, all atoms want to have 8 valance electrons to be stable. The reason why halogens and alkali metals are likely to form ion is because they are close to achieve an octet. Alkali metals have 1 valence electrons, they just have to loss that one electron to achieve octet. Similarly, halogens already have 7 valance electrons, all they need is one more electrons to attain a noble gas configuration.

Halogens and alkali metals likely to form ion because of their valence electrons. Halogens has 7 valence electrons and the alkali have 1 valence electron.So the presence of eight valence electrons in the outer energy level is chemically stable and is called stable octet. The elements tend to racy to acquire the stable electron structure of a noble gas. So halogens and alkali form ions to become like a noble gas.

Halogens and alkali metals are likely to form an ion because they are either one valence electron, more or less from becoming a noble gas. In order to become a noble gas, the halogens would have to gain an electron and the alkali metals would have to lose an electron. Which means, halogens and alkali metals would have to form ions to become a noble gas.

Halogens and alkali metals are likely to form an ion because they both are very close to the noble gasses and elements itself already want to be like the noble gasses. Alkali medals tend to lose an electron just because it is closer and metals are losers. Halogens have 7 valence so they will gain 1 instead of losing 7 electron.

Alkali metal and Halogens are likely to form ions because of a surplus or lack of the valence electrons in the outermost shell. When an alkali metal such as Na, combines with a halogen such as CI to create NaCI, the sodium loses its outermost electron to chlorine. Also when the ionization energy is very low because they only need to lose or gain the electron.

Alkali metals are on the A1 block meaning the only have one valance electron while, Halogens are on the A7 block, meaning they have 7 balance electrons. Both of these are only one electron away from the complete 8 they need to be happy (stable octet). So alkali just loose one valance electron to have 8 outer layer electrons, and halogens add one electron.

Alkali metals are more likely to form ions because they are only one electron away from being like a noble gas(having a complete final shell). For alkali metals, it is easy to just lose one electron. Halogens are more likely to form atoms also because they are one electron away from being like a noble gas. For halogens, it is easy just to gain 1 electron.

Alkali metals and halogens are likely to form ions because of the excess or a lack of electrons in their valence electron shells. For an alkali metal to be a stable ion, it has to lose the single electron in its valence shell to another atom. Halogens have 7 valence electrons so they just need to gain one more electron to reach 8 valence electron.

Halogens and alkali metals are most likely to form ions because they are both one valence electron away from achieving a stable octet. To get a stable octet of 8 valence electrons on the outer shell, halogens would have to gain an electron, becoming an anion (negatively charged ion) in the process, while alkali metals would have to lose an electron, becoming a cation (positively charged ion) in the process.

Alkali metals have 1 valance electron. Halogens have 7 valence electrons. Since all atoms of an element seem to strive in becoming a noble gas, and you simply need a set of 8 valence electrons to gain this title, there's no doubt that the Halogens and Alkali metals are more than willing to lose or gain an extra electron, forming 1+ and 1- ions in the process.

Alkali metals and halogens are likely to form ions because of a surplus or a lack of electrons in their valence electron shells. In order for an alkali metal to become a stable ion, it must lose the single electron in its valence shell to a neighboring atom.

alkali metals have one valence electron and halogens contain 7. an element needs eight valence electrons to be balanced, so an ion would form.

Halogens and Alkali metals are likely to be ions because they don't have 8 valence electrons. Atoms that don't have 8 electrons tend to want to gain or lose electrons so that they can have 8 electrons.

The energy from the metals transform throughout by the moving electron.They are easy to form ion because their lack of electrons in their valence electrons.

Alkali metals and halogens are likely to form ions because of lack of electrons in their outermost electron shells. In order for an alkali metal to become a stable ion, it must lose a single electron in its valence shell to an atom. So basically they can easily form to an ion because of their lack of electrons in their shells.

Halogens and alkali metals are likely to form ion because both of them are only one electron away from the noble gases. Alkali metals contains 1 valence electron, while halogens contains 7 valence electrons. All atoms want to have a full outer shell by having 8 valance electrons.

Halogens and alkali metals are likely to form into ions because both of them are only one electron away from becoming a noble gas. The alkali metals have 1 valence electron. the halogens contain 7 valence electron. iT has to be 8 valence electron to complete the whole shell.

Alkaline metals and halogens are likely to form ions because of a surplus or a lack of electrons in their valence electrons shells. Which make them losers.
