This chart contains all the information you could want from a printable periodic table, including element symbols, names, atomic numbers, atomic masses, electron shells, periods, groups, state of matter, and more.
How to Use a Periodic Table to Predict Element Charges. You can use periodic table trends to predict the most common element charges. Group I (alkali metals) carry a +1 charge, Group II (alkaline earth metals) carry a +2, Group VII (halogens) carry -1, and Group VIII (noble gases) carry a 0 charge.

Watch a video that explains how atoms can gain or lose electrons to form ions, and how ions are represented by symbols and charges.
Interactive periodic table showing names, electrons, and oxidation states. Visualize trends, 3D orbitals, isotopes, and mix compounds. Fully descriptive writeups.
Compounds formed from positive and negative ions are called ionic compounds. Individual atoms can gain or lose electrons. When they do, they become monatomic ions. When atoms gain or lose electrons, they usually gain or lose a characteristic number of electrons and so take on a characteristic overall charge.
Ionic compounds contain oppositely charged ions arranged in a giant lattice. Ionic substances have high melting and boiling points because there are many strong forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
