(a)
Answer to Problem 79A
Element X belongs to the 6A group number.
Explanation of Solution
Even though ionic compounds are formed of ions, they have no electrical charge.
The smallest whole-number ratio of ions in an ionic compound is known as a formula unit.
The given formula is
Since calcium is a metal belonging to the 2A group it will lose 2 electrons to form an octet configuration.
The formed cation from calcium is
The anion should be
So, the group number will be 6A group.
