Which of the following is an anion? A. O2- B. Mg2+ C. Al3+ D. H

1 answer:

3 0

Anions are ions that have a negative charge. Its charge is what we call as valence electrons.
The charge on the ion is written as a superscript after the element symbol.
You can predict the negative charge on an ion by looking at the group number for the atom.
The charge for representative elements is typically equal to the group minus eight.
Therefore, the anion among the choices is letter A which is $O^{2-}$ .
Oxygen is in group 6A. The negative charge is 6 - 8 = 2. The symbol is $O^{2-}$ with the charge written as a superscript.

How are saturated and supersaturated solutions similar?

Serggg [28]

Answer:

They are similar in sense that both cannot dissolve any more solid unless heat or other factors are added. For eg if a solution is saturated it can no longer dissolve the given substance. But if the solution is heated, the solid will dissolved this is now said to be supersaturated.

I have a question about ionization energy.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Ionization energy is the measure of the extend to which the nucleus attracts the outermost electron
if ionization energy us high than force of attraction Is high so it is not easy to remove and vice versa .
hope you understand.....

2. What ions are present in what ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

$\mathrm{Ca}^{2+} \text { and } \mathrm{Cl} \text { - ions are present in } 1: 2 \text { ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride. }$

Explanation:

Here in Calcium Chloride ionic bond is present in between calcium and chlorine atoms. As we know according to Octet rule calcium have two excess atoms and for matching nearest noble gas electronic configuration. It donate two electrons to gain more stability and form $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ , while chlorine is deficient from one electron to meet nearest noble gas electronic configuration therefore two chlorine atoms accept excess electron from calcium individually and form two $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions.

$\text { Equation is as follows: } \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCl}_{2}$

Hence aqueous solution of calcium chloride breaks the ionic bond pairing in one $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ and two $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions: $\mathrm{CaCl}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(\mathrm{ag})+2 \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{ag})$

1. Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom. We can use the periodic table to predict ionizatio

just olya [345]

Ionization energy increases from left to right because the left wants to lose elctrons and the right wants to gain electron

As you go a group it is easier lose lose because the electrons are farther away from the nucleus and there is less attraction from the positive charges.

It should be 3p3. the p level can hold 6 electrons

Rubidium group 1, 1 valence electrons very reactive

Mg2,2 very reactive

Al 3, 3 reactive
