Answer:
C and D
Explanation:
Atoms with five, six or seven valance electrons gain electrons to complete the octet because it is more convenient for the atoms to gain three, two or one electron as compared to lose five, six or seven electrons. Thus atoms with five, six or seven valance electrons form negative ions by gaining electrons.
Atoms with one, two or three valance electrons lose the electrons to get complete octet because it is more convenient for the atoms to lose one two or three electrons as compared to gain the seven, six or five electrons. The atoms with one, two or three valance electrons form positive ions.
Wood, Water, and Neon Gas, because the wood is more of a solid its particles are tightly arranged and water next because it takes the shape of the container it is in and then the neon gas because with a gas the particles are not at all arranged
<h3>Answer:</h3>
#1. Ca²⁺
# 2. Ca²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) → CaSO₄(s)
#3. 3Ag⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) → Ag₃PO₄(s)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The question above concerns solubility of salts or ions in water.
The solution given contains Ag+, Ca2+, and Co2+ ions.
- In the first case, when Lithium bromide is added to the solution, there is no white precipitate formed.
- In the second case, the addition of Lithium sulfate results in the formation of a precipitate because of the Ca²⁺ in the solution combined with the SO₃²⁻ from lithium sulfate to form an insoluble CaSO₄.
- The net ionic equation for the reaction is;
Ca²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) → CaSO₄(s)
- From the solubility rules, all sulfates are soluble except BaSO₄, CaSO₄, and PbSO₄.
- In the third case, the addition of Lithium phosphate results in the formation of a precipitate because Ag⁺ ions in the solution combine with phosphate ions ( PO₄³⁻) from lithium phosphate to form an insoluble salt, Ag₃PO₄.
- The net ionic equation for the reaction is;
3Ag⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) → Ag₃PO₄(s)
- According to solubility rules, all phosphates are insoluble in water except Na₃PO₄, K₃PO₄, and (NH₄)₃PO₄.
