(a)
Interpretation:
Identification of the number of elements forms a positively charged ions among the following highlighted elements in the below periodic table:
Concept Introduction:
Atoms tend to gain or lose electrons until they obtain an electron configuration that is the same as that of a noble gas.
The neutral atom has equal number of protons and electrons. Gaining or loosing of a electrons of an atoms form ions.
Atoms form their ions to attain noble gas configuration.
- Group IA, IIA and IIIA are metal atoms containing one, two or three valence electrons. These metal atoms lose their valence electrons to get noble gas configuration.
- Group VA, VIA VIIA are non-metal atoms containing five, six or seven valence electrons. These non-metal atoms acquire electrons to get noble gas configuration.
- Group IVA group elements have four valence electrons. These elements either gain or lose their electrons to get noble gas configuration.
(b)
Interpretation:
Identification of the element forms ions through loss of electrons among the following highlighted elements in the below periodic table:
