Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The charges for the monoatomic ions of the element Magnesium has to be written.
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 charges for the monoatomic ions of the element Phosphorous has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
“Refer sub-part (a)”.
(c)
Interpretation:
The charges for the monoatomic ions of the element Iron has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
“Refer sub-part (a)”.
(d)
Interpretation:
The charges for the monoatomic ions of the element Selenium has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
“Refer sub-part (a)”.

What is this value in meters and in centimeters? cm (b) The mass of a single vanadium atom is 8.46×10-23 g. Suppose enough V atoms were lined up like beads on a string to span a distance of 44.7 cm ( 18 atoms inches). How many atoms would be required? What mass in grams of V would be used? Could you weigh out this amount of vanadium using a typical laboratory balance? (c) Taking the density of vanadium metal to be 6.08 g/cm³, calculate the mass of metal needed to form a piece of V wire with the same length as the distance in b, but with a diameter of 1.00 mm.
