Finding ionic charges for elements on the Periodic Table is a fundamental skill in chemistry. There are two primary methods to help you remember the charges.
The first method is to consider the ionic charges for elements in their groups. As you go down a group on the Periodic Table elements tend to have the same ionic charge. For example, elements in Groups One all have a charge of +1.
As is always the case with chemistry there are a number of exceptions. The second Periodic Table presented in the video shows these exceptions. Overall the trend is the same as in the first method but more detailed.
This video doesn’t explain why elements have specific ionic charges but it does give you the information you need to quickly and effectively understand how to find the ionic charge of an element.
