Chapter 7, Problem 2KSP

The colored spheres represent the ions ${\text{Ca}}^{\text{2+}}{\text{, Cl}}^{\text{-}}{\text{, K}}^{\text{+}}{\text{, P}}^{\text{3-}}{\text{, and S}}^{\text{2-}}\text{,}$ Based on sue and using only a periodic table, determine which of the following has the ions in the same order as the diagram.

(a)

${\text{Ca}}^{\text{2+}}{\text{, Cl}}^{\text{-}}{\text{, K}}^{\text{+}}{\text{, P}}^{\text{3-}}{\text{, S}}^{\text{2-}}$

(b)

${\text{Ca}}^{\text{2+}}{\text{, K}}^{\text{+}}{\text{, P}}^{\text{3-}}{\text{, S}}^{\text{2-}}{\text{ Cl}}^{\text{-}}$

(c)

${\text{P}}^{\text{3-}}{\text{, S}}^{\text{2-}}{\text{, Cl}}^{\text{-}}{\text{, K}}^{\text{+}}{\text{, Ca}}^{\text{2+}}$

(d)

${\text{Ca}}^{\text{2+}}{\text{, K}}^{\text{+}}{\text{, Cl}}^{\text{-}}{\text{, S}}^{\text{2-}}{\text{, P}}^{\text{3-}}$

(e)

${\text{P}}^{\text{3-}}{\text{, S}}^{\text{2-}}{\text{, Cl}}^{\text{-}}{\text{, Ca}}^{\text{2+}}{\text{, K}}^{\text{+}}$
