Question

one electron is present in the outermost shell of the atom of an element z
A. what will be the value of charge of the ion formed, it this electron is removed from the outer most shell

B. what will be the nature of this element.

Answer 1

Answer:

an element z is a metal because one electron is present in the outermost shell. i. e. 1valence electron .when this electron is removed from the outermost shell a cation will be formed with a charge+1.

Answer 2

The charge of the ion that is formed if an electron in the outermost shell of the atom Z is removed is Z+ and the element will be cationic in nature.

• The element has one electron in the outermost shell of the atom of an element Z, then the element belongs to Alkali metals.
• The charge of the ion formed, it this electron is removed from the outermost shell is Z⁺.
• The element has a '+' charge, this implies that the element can remove one electron to acquire stability.
• The nature of the element will be cationic as it has a positive charge.

Hence, the charge of the ion that is formed if an electron in the outermost shell of the atom Z is removed is Z+ and the element will be cationic in nature.
