See the image below.
Here are the points to remember.
1. The number of protons (atomic number) is the same whether an atom is neutral or ionic.
2. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons = the number of protons.
3. The number of electrons in each shell is 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, …
4. The number of electrons in an atom at the end of each period (a noble gas) is 2, 10, 18, 36, 54, …
5. An atom will gain or lose electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration.
For example, a potassium atom has 19 protons and 10 electrons. It will form an ion by losing one electron to get to 18 electrons.
And on the other hand chlorine is reduced to chloride ion by accepting electrons: Cl2(g) +2e−→2Cl− (ii). And (i)+(ii)= Mg(s)+Cl2(g)→MgCl2(s).
It's your hw so you really should understand it so you dont have to ask for help so I'll try to explain it the best I can.
1.SD (only one switch occurs, between fluorine and bromide)
2.DD (two things are switched, sulfate and nitrate)
3. D (One compound is broken up into smaller compounds)
4.C (The products of combustion are always h20 and co2)
5.DD (again, two things are switched, bromide and nitrate)
6.SD (In SDR, look for a lone molecule reacting with a compound)
7.S (two smaller compounds become one big compound)
8. D( A big compound is broken up)
9. DD (I think Its DD because two molecules were displaced)*not sure
10.DD(two molecules are displaced, phosphate and hydroxide)
Answer:
Neon
(if you want a thorough explanaion, just ask for one)
