Answer:
A3+ and B-
Explanation:
Elements in group 13 have outermost electron configuration, ns2np1 hence they form trivalent positive ions.
Elements in group 17 have outermost electron configuration ns2np5 hence they form univalent negative ions.
This implies that, if element A is in Group 13 and element B is in Group 17, the ions formed are A3+ and B-.
Methanoic acid has a molecular formula of HCOOH, when form an ester it's HCOO-, so the rest of the ester is -C4H9, a saturated 4 carbon chain. As shown in the attached diagram, there are 4 structural isomers, and the third isomer has 2 stereoisomers. So the answers is D:5.
