All p block elements form ions. True or False

Chemistry
1 answer:
FinnZ [79.3K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

No this statement is false.

Explanation:

when an atom lose or gain the electron ions are formed. If the atom lose an electron the positive ions are formed called cations while anion is formed by the gaining of electron by an atom The elements having less electrons in valance shell usually lose their electrons while the elements like halogens having 7 valance electrons gain an electron to complete the octet. while p block elements noble gases are inert, their outer most valance shell is complete so they do not form ions.

P block elements are non-metals, metals and metalloids. These are thirty five elements. The P-block elements are present on right side of periodic table. There valance electrons are present in P orbital. The p-block metals are shiny and good conductor of heat and electricity. These metal lose the electron which is accept by non metals and form ionic bond. They have high melting points.

Metalloids includes boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. Metalloids contain both the properties of metals and non metals, Some metalloids are toxic like arsenic.

Most of p-block elements are non metals. They are bad conductor of heat and electricity and have low boiling points. The non metals mostly accept the electron from the metals and usually from ionic bond like in case of chlorine. It form the ionic compound with sodium.

The sodium chloride which is an ionic compound, formed by the complete transfer of electron from sodium to chlorine atom and form ionic bond. In this ionic compound sodium carry positive charge and chlorine carry negative charge there is attraction between these oppositely charged atoms.

What is atomic mass, atomic number, isotopes and how are all these terms related to each other?
Airida [17]
Atomic mass deals with the number of protons and neutrons added together, atomic number deals with protons only, though isotopes can be explained like this, say you had a hydrogen atom it's one proton and one electron if you add a neutron to it, the hydrogen becomes Deuterium which is a isotope of hydrogen it's the same atom just a neutron added to it for a different atomic mass if only slightly changed
