Hi there I believe it’s 18 please let me know if I’m wrong :)
Answer:
A wave pattern organizes a speech
X

H has a positive 1 charge. This means that having 3H = +3<span>. This is a neutral compound so x= -3 because X+3H= 0
Y</span>

is also neutral so 2X+Y= 0
we know X=-3 So, 2(-3)+Y=0
-6+y=0
Y=+6 charge
Answer: The valency of X is -3.
The valency of Y is 6
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
- When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.
