The atoms of Group 7A elements gain electrons when they form ions. True False

Answer: True.

Explanation.

The group 7A is actually named group 17.

That group is the halogens: F, Cl, Br, I, At, and Ts (Ts is one of the last elements discovered).

Those elements have 7 valence electrons (notice that it is the same number as the second digit in 17).

The atoms with 7 valence electrons will "easily" gain one electron to get the configuration of the next noble gas (8 valence electrons). That is why these elements gain electrons to form ions.

When atoms gain electrons form anions (negative ions). For example: F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-).

Answer:

Most acid precipitation results from the combination of <u>Sulfur Oxides and Nitrogen Oxides</u> with water in the atmosphere, forming strong acids that fall with rain or snow.

Explanation:

Acid rain is said to be that rain which contains high concentration of H⁺ ions. The main source of acid rain is the elimination of NOₓ (Nitrogen Oxides) and SOₓ (Sulfur Oxides) from different means in industries and other combustion processes on earth.

Examples:

SO₂ + H₂O → H₂SO₄

NO₂ + OH° → HNO₃

From above examples it can be seen that the sulfur and nitrogen oxides when reacted with water forms strong acids. These acids come along with rain water and causes different problems to living organisms and non living objects like buildings.
