(a)
Interpretation:
Using Lewis dot symbol the transfer of electrons between the given atoms to form cations and anions has to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis dot symbol is used to represent the valence electrons of an atom or ion using dots surrounding the element symbol along four sides of the element symbol without maintaining exact order for the placement of dots.
In Lewis dot symbol representation, the
The valence electron is the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of the atom. The number of valence electrons will be same for the same group elements which is represented by Lewis dot symbol.
(b)
Interpretation:
Using Lewis dot symbol the transfer of electrons between the given atoms to form cations and anions has to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis dot symbol is used to represent the valence electrons of an atom or ion using dots surrounding the element symbol along four sides of the element symbol without maintaining exact order for the placement of dots.
In Lewis dot symbol representation, the symbol of element is surrounded by "dots" indicating the number of valence electrons available for the element. The dots can be placed one at a time on all the four sides, further electron can be placed by pairing up with the first placed dots. According to the number of electrons added or removed, charge must be placed on the Lewis dot symbol for cations and anions.
The valence electron is the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of the atom. The number of valence electrons will be same for the same group elements which is represented by Lewis dot symbol.

- A) Chlorophyll molecules are responsible for the green pigmentation of plants. Differing chemically isolated molecular chlorophyll compounds are named as "Chlorophyll X" (where "X" is a variable denoting the actual molecular fragments which are represented by the labels R2, R3, R7, R8, R17). Suppose one molecule of Chlorophyll X contains 4 nitrogen atoms, and Chlorophyll X is 6.26 % nitrogen by weight. Using only this information and the atomic mass of nitrogen, determine the molecular mass of Chlorophyll X. B) The Chlorophyll X molecule contains one magnesium atom. What mass of magnesium is found in 5.17 g of Chlorophyll X compound?arrow_forwardWhich ionic compound is expected to form from combiningthe following pairs of elements? (a) barium and fluorine,(b) cesium and chlorine, (c) lithium and nitrogen, (d) aluminumand oxygen.arrow_forwardAnswer true or false. (a) The name of a binary ionic compound consists of the name of the positive ion followed by the name of the negative ion. (b) In naming binary ionic compounds, it is necessary to state the number of each ion present in the compound. (c) The formula of aluminum oxide is Al2 O3 . (d) Both copper(II) oxide and cupric oxide are acceptable names for CuO. (e) The systematic name for Fe2 O3 is iron(II) oxide. (f) The systematic name for FeCO3 is iron carbonate. (g) The systematic name for NaH2PO4 is sodium di- hydrogen phosphate. (h) The systematic name for K2HPO4 is dipotassium hydrogen phosphate. (i) The systematic name for Na2O is sodium oxide.

- 23. Given the following pairs of ions, write the correct chemical formula of the corresponding ionic compound in the space providea: - a) Potassium ion , oxide b) Sr,hydroxide c) CI .NH, d) Ca PO.arrow_forwardWrite the formula for the ionic compound that forms between each of the following pairs of elements: (a) Li and O2; (b) K and Se; (c) Mg and Br2.arrow_forwardAnswer true or false. (a) The octet rule refers to the chemical bonding patterns of the first eight elements of the Periodic Table. (b) The octet rule refers to the tendency of certain elements to react in such a way that they achieve an outer shell of eight valence electrons. (c) In gaining electrons, an atom becomes a positively charged ion called a cation. (d) When an atom forms an ion, only the number of valence electrons changes; the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus does not change. (e) In forming ions, Group 2A elements typically lose two electrons to become cations with a charge of 12. (f) In forming an ion, a sodium atom (1s22s22p63s1) completes its valence shell by adding one electron to fill its 3s shell (1s22s22p63s2). (g) The elements of Group 6A typically react by ac- cepting two electrons to become anions with a charge of 22. (h) With the exception of hydrogen, the octet rule applies to all elements in periods 1, 2, and 3. (i) Atoms and the ions derived from…arrow_forward
