Explanation
The elements in group I of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. They form ionic compounds when they react with non-metals. Their ions have a single positive charge. For example, sodium forms sodium ions, $$Na^+$$.
The elements in Group 7 of the Periodic Table are called the halogens. They form ionic compounds when they react with metals. Their ions have a single negative charge. For example, chlorine forms chloride ions, $$Cl^-$$.
Group $$1A$$ elements form $$XCl$$ type chloride.
