Answer:

B. P (Phosphorus)

Explanation:

The element is be phosphorus.

This is true because phosphorus has a larger atomic radius than carbon. If you move than the group, elements gain additional electron shell. That additional electron shell keeps electrons far from the nucleus of the atom. This actually increases the atomic radius. Also, phosphorus is more electronegative than aluminum because phosphorus itself is a non-metal and non-metals are generally electronegative while aluminum is a metal and electropositive.

Phosphorus has a lower ionization energy than argon because the ionization energy across the period (i.e from left to right) increases and across period 3, you will find phosphorus first before argon in the periodic table.

Write the symbol for each of the following ions:

kap26 [50]

Answer:

a) $_{31}^{71}\textrm {P^{3+}}$

b) $_{35}^{80}\textrm {Br^{-}}$

c) $_{90}^{232}\textrm {Th^{4+}}$

d) $_{38}^{87}\textrm {Sr^{2+}}$

Explanation:

For neutral atoms:

Atomic Number (Z)= number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons

For ions with positive net charge:

Number of protons = Z + net charge

For ions with negative net charge:

Number of protons= Z - net charge

a) A = 71, Charge = +3

Number of electrons = 28

Number of protons = 28 +3 =31

$_{31}^{71}\textrm {P^{3+}}$

b) A = 35, Z = 45+35=80, Charge = -1

Number of protons =35

Number of neutrons = 45

Number of electrons = 36

Charge = Number of protons- Number of electrons =35-36 = -1

$_{35}^{80}\textrm {Br^{-}}$

c) Charge = +4

Number of electrons = 86

Number of protons = Z = 86+4 = 90

mass number = A = 90+142 = 232

$_{90}^{232}\textrm {Th^{4+}}$

d) Charge = +2

Atomic number = Number of protons = Z = 38

mass number = A = 87

$_{38}^{87}\textrm {Sr^{2+}}$

When monovalent cation (X) binds to divalent anion (Y) it will form

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

When a monovalent cation X binds to a divalent anion Y, a compound with the formula $X_2Y$ would be formed.

A monovalent cation is an atom that has lost an electron. Hence, such cation has a single positive charge. A monovalent cation X will, thus, be $X^+$

A divalent anion is an atom that has gained two electrons. Such anion has 2 negative charge. Thus, divalent Y would be $Y^2^-$

Since Y is a divalent anion, it requires 2 electrons in order to successfully bind with another charged atom, a cation to be specific. Thus, two of $X^+$ would be required to successfully bind $Y^2^-$

$Y^2^-$ + $X^+$ + $X^+$ ----> $X_2Y$
