Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Identification of the element “X” and write its chemical symbol which forms ion
Concept Introduction:
Atoms are composed of three types of particles called subatomic particles. They are as follows:
- Protons: Positively charged particles in an atom.
- Neutrons: Neutral charged particles in an atom.
- Electrons: Negatively charged particles in an atom.
The neutral atom has equal number of protons and electrons. Gaining or loosing of electrons of an atom forms ion.
Negative charged ions are formed by the gaining of one or more electrons and it has more electrons than protons.
Positive charged ions are formed by losing one or more electrons and it has more protons than electrons.

- List some properties of a substance that would lead you to believe it consists of ions. How do these properties differ from those of nonionic compounds?arrow_forwardFor the following processes that show the formation of ions, use the periodic table to indicate the number of electrons and protons present in both theionand theneutral atomfrom which the ion is made. a.CaCa2++2e b.P+3eP3 c.Br+eBr d.FeEe3++3e e.AlAl3++3e f.N+3eN3arrow_forwardUse the periodic table and predict the number of electrons that will be lost or gained by the following elements as they change into simple ions. Write an equation using elemental symbols, ionic symbols, and electrons to represent each change. a.Mg b.silicon c.element 53 d.sulfurarrow_forward
- Identify each of the following elements: a. a member of the same family as oxygen whose most stable ion contains 54 electrons b. a member of the alkali metal family whose most stable ion contains 36 electrons c. a noble gas with 18 protons in the nucleus d. a halogen with 85 protons and 85 electronsarrow_forwardThese questions concern the work of J. J. Thomson: From Thomson’s work, which particles do you think he would feel are most important in the formation of compounds (chemical changes) and why? Of the remaining two subatomic particles, which do you place second in importance for forming compounds and why? Come up with three models that explain Thomson’s findings and evaluate them. To be complete you should include Thomson’s findings.arrow_forwardEach of the following compounds contains a metal that can exhibit more than one ionic charge. Name these compounds: (a) NiCO3 (b) MoO3 (c) Co( NO3)2 (d) V2O5 (e) MnO2 (f) Fe2O3arrow_forward
- What are bus? How are ions formed from atoms? Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously? To what do the termscationandanionrefer? In terms of subatomic particles, how is an ion related to the atom from which it is formed? Does the nucleus of an atom change when the atom is converted into an ion? How can the periodic table be used to predict what ion an element’s atoms will form?arrow_forwardComplete the following table to predict whether the given atom will gain or lose electrons in forming the ion most likely to form when in ionic compounds. Atom Gain (G) or Lose (L) Electrons Ion Formed K Cs Br S Searrow_forward1. Hydrogen is a Group I element and each hydrogen will contribute I valence electron. Carbon is a Group (Roman numeral) element and each carbon will contribute ___ (number) electrons. Every oxygen atom in a compound will contribute valence electrons. Chloromethane has the molecular formula . Its skeleton is and the number of valence electrons may be determined as follows. There are three hydrogen atoms, each of which contributes 1 valence electron; the single carbon contributes 4 electrons; and the single chlorine atom contributes 7 electrons, making a total of 14 . A convenient tabular form of this calculation isarrow_forward
