Answer:
4. Number of electrons lost by atoms of group IIIA equals: (c) 3
5. Atom which loses two electrons from its outer shell to form an ion is called (c) magnesium
6. In NaCl crystal lattice each Na ion is surrounded by: (a) 6 CI ions
7. At room temperature most of ionic compounds are: (b) crystalline solids
Explanation:
The number of electrons lost by atoms of group IIIA equals 3
- Group 3A is the boron group.
- The group 3A elements are also referred as earth metals.
- These elements have 3 valence electrons.
- So, to attain stability, IIIA elements lose 3 electrons.
The atom which loses two electrons from its outer shell to form an ion is magnesium.
- From the given elements, oxygen has 6 valence electrons, carbon has 4 valence electrons, magnesium has 2 valence electrons, and potassium has 3 valence electrons.
- To attain stability, oxygen takes 2 electrons, carbon either takes or loses 4 electrons, and potassium loses 3 three electrons.
- Magnesium having 2 valence electrons, loses both these electrons to form an ion.
In a NaCl crystal lattice, each Na ion is surrounded by 6 Cl ions.
- Sodium atom has 1 valence electron. It loses this electron to attain a stable electronic configuration and forms a sodium cation .
- Chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons. It captures one electron to attain a stable electronic configuration and forms a chlorine anion .
- In the crystal structure, the anion and the cation form a regular pattern alternating back and forth even in 3D.
- Because of this, each sodium ion is surrounded by six chloride ions.
At room temperature, most of the ionic compounds are crystalline solids.
- Since the electrostatic force of attraction between the elements is strong, ionic compounds are hard in nature.
- This gives such solids a definite shape and sharp melting point.
- Therefore, they are crystalline solids.
