Ionic compounds are formed by a positive ion called cation and a negative ion called anion.
I will show you some examples:
NaCl is formed by the cation Na+ and the anion Cl -
CaF2 is formed by the cation Ca 2+ and the anion F -
Li2O if formd by the cation Li + and the anion O 2-.
To tell that you use the oxidation number of each element. I did it this way
Ca F2 => Ca has oxidation number 2+ and F has oxidation number 1- then the ions have that very same charge number.
The answer is ammonium iron
A replacement reaction which is where the positively charged portion of one of the reactants takes on the negatively charge portion of the other reactant without giving any portion of itself to the other to form products.
Answer:
–1
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the neutral atom is given below:
2 8 7
From the electronic configuration of the neutral atom, we can see that the atom has 7 electrons in it's outermost shell. This implies that the element needs 1 more electron to complete it's octet configuration.
Therefore the charge on the ion of the element will be –1 indicating that the atom has received 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.
