Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical symbol for the monoatomic ion of Lithium has to be written with charge.
Concept Introduction:
Ions:
When one atom comes into contact with another it is the electrons of both atoms that interact. One type of interaction is for one or more electrons to be removed from one atom, forming a positive ion. Because opposite charges attract, the positive ion attracts the negative ion. This bonds the two atoms (ions) together.
Monoatomic ion:
A monoatomic ion is a single atom that has lost or gained electrons.
(b)
Interpretation:
The chemical symbol for the monoatomic ion Strontium has to be written with charge.
Concept Introduction:
“Refer to sub-part (a)”.
(c)
Interpretation:
The chemical symbol for the monoatomic ion Aluminium has to be written with charge.
Concept Introduction:
“Refer to sub-part (a)”.
(d)
Interpretation:
The chemical symbol for the corresponding monoatomic ion that is Zinc has to be written with charge.
Concept Introduction:
“Refer to sub-part (a)”

- Give the names of appropriate element for (a)~(d) in the passages below. (1) (a) and (b) are elements that belong to period 5 and 6 in the periodic table, respectively. Both simple substances are solid under room temperature. To an aqueous solution containing cations of (a) and (b), dilute hydrochloric acid was dropped to produce white precipitate. Upon rinsing with boiling water, the precipitate was partially dissolved. (2) Both (c) and (d) are elements that produce stable trivalent cations in an aqueous solution. To an aqueous solution containing (c) and (d) as trivalent cations, aqueous ammonia was dropped to produce a gel-like precipitate. Upon the addition of concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide, the precipitate was partially dissolved and the majority of (c ) was transferred to the supernatant.arrow_forwardWrite a formula for each of the following compounds:(a) Ethylene glycol, car antifreeze, consists of two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms.(b) Peroxodisulfuric acid, a compound used to make bleaching agents, consists of two hydrogen atoms, two sulfur atoms, and eight oxygen atoms.arrow_forwardThe element oxygen has three naturally occurring isotopes, with8, 9, and 10 neutrons in the nucleus, respectively.
