a)
Interpretation: The elements that form only one type of cation to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Cation: The removal of electrons from the neutral atom leads to the formation of cation.
Anion: The neutral atom gains electrons leads to the formation of anion.

Answer to Problem 3.29UKC
The transition group, f-block elements and Thallium, Nihonium, Tin, Lead, and Flerovium elements also tend to form more than one type of cation.
Explanation of Solution
The transition group, f-block elements and Thallium, Nihonium, Tin, Lead, and Flerovium elements also tend to form more than one type of cation.
d)
Interpretation: The elements that do not readily form either anions or cations to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Cation: The removal of electrons from the neutral atom leads to the formation of cation.
Anion: The neutral atom gains electrons leads to the formation of anion.
d)
Answer to Problem 3.29UKC
