The charges on the calcium and gluconate ions; either monoatomic or polyatomic ions; the formula for Calcium gluconate to be predicted Concept Introduction: Monoatomic ions: Ion consists of exactly one atom. Polyatomic ions: Ion consists of more than one atom even of same elements or different. Formation of ions: Atom possesses equal number of protons and electrons and remains electrically neutral. By gaining (accepting electrons) or losing (donating electrons) one or more electrons, converts the neutral atom into a charged particle called IONS. Cation: The loss of one or more electrons by a neutral atom leaves the atom positively charged called cation. Anion: The gain of one or more electrons by a neutral atom leaves the neutral atom negatively charged called anion. The symbolic representation of ions: The electrons are reside in the principal quantum number ‘n’; by losing and gaining electron, reduces and increases in the electron count in the electronic configuration of the atom; for a cation adding positive charge as a superscript to the symbol of the element and for the anion adding negative charge as superscript to the symbol of the element.

Chapter 3, Problem 3.88GP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The charges on the calcium and gluconate ions; either monoatomic or polyatomic ions; the formula for Calcium gluconate to be predicted

Concept Introduction:

Monoatomic ions: Ion consists of exactly one atom.

Polyatomic ions: Ion consists of more than one atom even of same elements or different.

Formation of ions:

Atom possesses equal number of protons and electrons and remains electrically neutral. By gaining (accepting electrons) or losing (donating electrons) one or more electrons, converts the neutral atom into a charged particle called IONS.

Cation: The loss of one or more electrons by a neutral atom leaves the atom positively charged called cation.

Anion: The gain of one or more electrons by a neutral atom leaves the neutral atom negatively charged called anion.

The symbolic representation of ions:

The electrons are reside in the principal quantum number ‘n’; by losing and gaining electron, reduces and increases in the electron count in the electronic configuration of the atom; for a cation adding positive charge as a superscript to the symbol of the element and for the anion adding negative charge as superscript to the symbol of the element.
