Question

Atomic numbers of a few elements are given(symbols are not real) A : 9 B : 11 C : 16 D : 13 a) Which among them can get converted into cations during bond formation? b) What is the molecular formula of the compound formed when the elements B and C take part in bond formation

Answer 1

Answer:

You can use the periodic table to predict whether an atom will form an anion or a cation, and you can often predict the charge of the resulting ion. Atoms of many main-group metals lose enough electrons to leave them with the same number of electrons as an atom of the preceding noble gas.
