Your answers seem great so far, except for a tiny issue: With the ionic symbols, try to get into the habit of using "+", with metals, like sodium, and try to use the integer first. So, for example, a potassium ion would be K^+, while an oxide ion would be O^2-


Let's take aluminium as an example I'll work through:

Aluminium, with it's atomic number of 13, will have an electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 1s2 2p1. So it would have 2, 8, 3 electrons in the first three energy levels, respectively.

Usually, if an elemental atom has a valence electron (highest energy level electron) count less than 4, it almost always will lose electrons. Since aluminium has 3, it will also lose the electrons.

It loses the 3 valence electrons, and so will end up with 10 electrons.

Since the atomic number also tells how many protons it has, we know that an aluminium atom has 13 protons, which doesn't change.

Since the size of the charges of a proton and an electron are the same, with protons being positive and the electrons being negative, an aluminium ion would have a charge of +3, and the Ionic symbol would be Al^3+



Hope I helped! xx

Licemer1 [7]

Based on the solubility observations, barium & aluminum could be distinguished by the addition of sodium chloride to the solutions.

<h3>What happens when NaCl is added to a solution?</h3>
  • The ionic link that held sodium and chloride ions together is broken when water molecules force the ions apart.
  • The sodium and chloride atoms are encircled by water molecules after the salt compounds are separated. After that, the salt dissolves and forms a homogenous solution.
  • In order to keep patients from dehydrating, sodium chloride, an important nutrient, is employed in healthcare. It is employed as a spice to improve flavor and as a food preservative. Additionally, sodium chloride is employed in the production of polymers and other goods. Additionally, it is used to de-ice sidewalks and roadways.
  • Adding water to sodium chloride results in a physical change because no new product is created.
