Answer:
Magnesium
Explanation:
When an atom loses are gain the electrons ions are formed.
There are two types of ions.
Anion
Cation
1 = Anion
It is formed when an atom gain the electrons. when atom gain electron negative charge is created on atom. For example.
X + e⁻ → X⁻
2= Cation
It is formed when an atom loses the electrons. when atom lose electron positive charge is created on atom. For example.
X → X⁺ + e⁻
There are seven valance electrons in iodine. To complete the octet it gain one electron and form anion.
Sulfur has six valance electrons it gain two electrons to complete the octet and form anion.
Phosphorus has five valance electrons it gain three electrons two complete the octet and form anion.
Magnesium has two valance electrons it loses two electron to complete the octet and form cation.
Answer:
Air resistance opposes the gravity in a falling object hence the object loses speed once it reaches terminal velocity.
According to the experim
1a) anion and S-2
1b) cation and Al+3
1c) anion and N-3
1d) cation and Ca+2
Answer:
8 valence electrons
Explanation:
There are 4 valence electrons in carbon because it is in group 4A of the periodic table. There is 1 valence electron per hydrogen based on its position on the periodic table, but CH4 has 4 hydrogens in it. So 1 times 4 is 4. Add the 4 valence electrons from carbon with the 4 electrons from H4 to get 8.
molecules can be made of two of the same elements whereas a compound is always made of two different elements
