What is the general rule for determining the charge of a monatomic ion?

Back

The charge of a monatomic ion is determined by the number of electrons lost or gained to achieve a stable electron configuration.

What is the significance of the octet rule in ion formation?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, leading to the formation of ions.

How do you determine the charge of a transition metal ion?

Back

The charge of a transition metal ion can vary and is often determined by the context of the compound it is in, as transition metals can lose different numbers of electrons.
