Question

Explain why an element's charge is related to the group on the periodic table to which it belongs.

Answer 1

Answer:

In many cases, elements that belong to the same group (vertical column) on the periodic table form ions with the same charge because they have the same number of valence electrons. Thus, the periodic table becomes a tool for remembering the charges on many ions

Answer 2

Answer:

because group number is actually the number of valance electrons of an element. So when the element uses its valance electron for bonding its becomes its charge
