Determine the umber of electrons lost or gained when each atom forms an ion.
Transcribed Image Text:Determine the umber of electrons lost or gained when each atom forms an ion.
Expert Solution
Step 1 Atom to ion

 

When an atom gain electrons, it convert in to anion (negative charge)

when an atom lost electrons , it convert into cation (positive charge)

In a period left to right electronegativity of elements increacres due to increase of nuclear charge

S-block elements (1A, 2A) are electropositive elements, hence they ready to lost electtrons and convert into cation

where as P-block elements (3A to 7A ) are electronegative in nature, hence these elements ready to gain electrons
