<span> Au</span>₂(SeO₄)₃
O = -2 × 4 = -8
Se = + 6
So,
(+6 - 8) = -2
Means (SeO₄) contains -2 charge, Now multiply -2 by 3
-2 ₓ 3 = -6
Means,
Au₂ + (-6) = 0
Au₂ = +6
Or,
Au = 6 / 2
Au = +3
Result:
Au = +3
Se = +6
O = -2
Ni(CN)₂
Cyanide (CN⁻) contains -1 charge,
So,
N = -3
C = +2
Then,
Ni + (-1)₂ = 0
Ni - 2 = 0
Or,
Ni = +2
Result:
N = -3
C = +2
Ni = +2
The answer is the second choice
<span>The correct answer is that an ionic bond forms between charged particles. To form this bond, the particles transfer valence electrons (those in the outermost orbit). Specifically, in ionic bonding, the metal atom loses its electrons (thus becoming positive) and the nonmetal atom gains electrons (thus becoming negative).</span>
For ionic bond
The metal atom will lose electrons to form cations and the non metal atom will gain electron.egNaCl
