<u>Answer:</u> Group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.
If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. <u>For Example:</u> Fluorine is a Group 17 element which gains 1 electron to form ions.
If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations. <u>For Example:</u> Sodium is a Group 1 element which looses 1 electron to form ions.
Hence, group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.
Answer:
5.41 ×10⁻²²
Explanation:
We were told right from the question that both the Zinc ions and the Zinc oxide adopts a face-centered cubic arrangement.
Then, the number of ZnO molecule in one unit cell = 4
The standard molar mass of ZnO = 81.38g
Avogadro's constant = 6.023 × 10²³ mole
∴
The mass of one unit cell of zinc oxide can be calculated as:
=
= 5.40461564×10⁻²²
≅ 5.41 ×10⁻²²
∴ The mass of one unit cell of zinc oxide = 5.41 ×10⁻²²
