It is given that the charge on potassium is +1 i.e. Potassium is a cation, K⁺ and the charge on selenium is given as -2, i.e. selenium is an anion, Se²⁻

The two ions are shown to combine to form a molecule: KXSeY where X and Y correspond to the proportions in which the two atoms combine.

Since the molecule is neutral, the positive and negative charges need to be balanced. This is possible only if 2 units of K⁺ combines with 1 unit of Se²⁻.

Therefore, the formula would be K₂Se

X = 2 and Y = 1

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;
marishachu [46]

<u>Answer:</u> Pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

  • <u>For a:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For b:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

  • <u>For c:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For d:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For e:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For f:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Write the chemical formula for the cation present in the aqueous solution of cuso4.
Inessa05 [86]

The ionic compounds on dissolving in aqueous solution dissociate into their respective ions that are cations and anions.

The ions present in the aqueous solution of CuSO_4 are Cu^{2+} and SO_{4}^{2-}.

So, the chemical formula of the cation present in the aqueous solution of CuSO_4 is Cu^{2+}.
