(a)
Interpretation:
Considering the charge on the anion derived from Chlorine, the charge that M should possess in order to produce an electrically neutral compound should be decided.
Concept introduction:
An ionic compound forms by the mutual attraction of 2 oppositely charged ions. The ion containing the positive charge is known as the cation. The ion containing the negative charge is known as the anion.
(b)
Interpretation:
Considering the charge on the anion derived from Oxygen, the charge that M should possess in order to produce an electrically neutral compound should be decided.
Concept introduction:
An ionic compound forms by the mutual attraction of 2 oppositely charged ions. The metal ion containing the positive charge is known as the cation. The non-metal ion containing the negative charge is known as the anion.
(c)
Interpretation:
Considering the charge on the anion derived from Oxygen, the charge that M should possess in order to produce an electrically neutral compound should be decided.
Concept introduction:
An ionic compound forms by the mutual attraction of 2 oppositely charged ions. The ion containing the positive charge is known as the cation. The ion containing the negative charge is known as the anion. Usually in a simple ionic formula if there are multiple cations of same type, the charges on all of them are same.
(d)
Interpretation:
Considering the charge on the anion derived from Nitrogen, the charge that M should possess in order to produce an electrically neutral compound should be decided.
Concept introduction:
An ionic compound forms by the mutual attraction of 2 oppositely charged ions. The ion containing the positive charge is known as the cation. The ion containing the negative charge is known as the anion.
