Describe the formation of ions by electron loss or gain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ronch [10]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).

Answer:

A. 1:3

Explanation:

If we look at the ions shown in the image attached to the question, we will notice that we have aluminum (Al^3+), a trivalent ion combining with the iodide ion (I^-).

Aluminum can easily give out its three outermost electrons to three atoms of iodine. If aluminum gives out its three electrons, it achieves the stable octet structure. Iodine atoms have seven electrons in their outermost shell. They only need one more electrons to complete their octet. This one electron can be gotten by the combination of three iodine atoms with one atom of aluminum. One electron each is transferred from the aluminum atom to each iodine atom to form AlI3 with a ratio of 1:3.

Which equation has both a liquid and a gas as products? 2 upper H g upper O (s) right arrow 2 upper H g (l) plus upper O subscri
Mandarinka [93]
<h2>Let us predict the gas and liquid products in option </h2>

Explanation:

option  1 :  2 upper H g upper O (s) right arrow 2 upper H g (l) plus upper O subscript 2 (g).

Chemical reaction

It is the reactants react to form products .

Chemical equation

It is the method of representing reaction in terms of moles , specifying states , symbols , molecular formulas etc .

This actually gives the complete info about the reaction .

In the above asked question or any other question we can specify the states by writting :

Solid as "S".

Liquid as "L"

Gas as (g).
