Explanation / Answer

When the atom gains electron , it develops a negative charge equal to the number of electrons. And when these atoms lose electrons , it develops a positive charge again which is equal to the number of electrons.

So here :

1. When a halogen forms an ion , it gains one electron. A halogen forms an ion with a 1- charge.

2. When an atom in the oxygen family forms an ion , it gains two electrons . An atom in the oxygen family forms an ion with a 2- charge.

3. Nitrogen forms an ion with a 3- charge . Aluminium forms an ion with a 3+ charge.
