Answer:

CO32−

Explanation:

We have to consider the valencies of the polyatomic ions involved. Recall that it is only a polyatomic ion with a valency of -2 that can form a compound which requires two sodium ions.

When we look closely at the options, we will realize that among all the options, only CO32− has a valency of -2, hence it must be the required answer. In order to be double sure, we put down the ionic reaction equation as follows;

2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) ---------> Na2CO3(aq)

Sodium has an atomic number of 11 and has a net charge of 0. When sodium combines with chlorine, it has a net charge of +1. Why?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}$ .

In order to gain stability, sodium loses one electron and hence it forms a positive ion $(Na^{+})$ .

Thus, we can conclude that when sodium combines with chlorine, it has a net charge of +1 because sodium loses a negative electron when forming chemical bonds.
