What is the charge of each ion 

The image displays a categorization task related to chemical elements and their common oxidation states.

### Elements Available for Categorization:
- At (Astatine)
- Br (Bromine)
- Cl (Chlorine)
- Sr (Strontium)
- Rb (Rubidium)
- O (Oxygen)
- Fr (Francium)
- Be (Beryllium)

### Oxidation State Categories:
1. **-2 Oxidation State**:  
   - Contains the element S (Sulfur)

2. **-1 Oxidation State**:  
   - Empty in the current setup.

3. **+1 Oxidation State**:  
   - Contains the element Cs (Cesium)

4. **+2 Oxidation State**:  
   - Contains the element Ra (Radium)

### Task Description:
The goal is to place each element into the appropriate oxidation state category based on its common oxidation state. Each category is represented by a box labeled with its oxidation state. Elements not yet categorized appear in a row above the boxes as buttons.

This educational exercise helps students understand and memorize the typical oxidation states of various elements, which is crucial for solving chemical equations and understanding reactivity.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Charge on ion of any element depends on the number of valence electrons in the element.

The element which will have more than 4 valence electrons, it will be easier for them to gain electrons and complete their octet by becoming -vely charged.

And the element which will have less than 4 valence electrons, it will be easier for them to lose electrons and complete their octet by becoming +vely charged.
