Question

Match each of the unknown ions to its appropriate description.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A = A metal that lost three electrons is Z³⁺

Metals loses their electrons and form cations. So when an metal loses three electrons positive three charge is created.

B= A metal that lost one electrons is Y⁺

When metal loses one electron positive one charge is created.

C=A nonmetal that gained one electrons is X⁻

When non metals gain the electrons anions are formed and negative charge is created on atom due to addition of electron. So when non metal gained one electron -1 charge is created.

D= A nonmetal that gained three electrons is V³⁻.

when non metal gained three electrons -3 charge is created, because of addition of three electrons.
