Chapter 5, Problem 71E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of ionic charge for the metal ions of Group $\text{IA}/1$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Ionic charge is defined as the charge possessed by an ion that results in due to the gain or loss of an electron by an atom or a molecule. Metals are electropositive in nature because they loss electrons from their outermost shells. Non-metals are electronegative in nature because they gain electrons in their outermost shells.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The value of ionic charge for the metal ions of Group $\text{IIA}/2$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Ionic charge is defined as the charge possessed by an ion that results in due to the gain or loss of an electron by an atom or a molecule. Metals are electropositive in nature because they loss electrons from their outermost shells. Non-metals are electronegative in nature because they gain electrons in their outermost shells.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The value of ionic charge for the metal ions of Group $\text{IIIA}/13$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Ionic charge is defined as the charge possessed by an ion that results in due to the gain or loss of an electron by an atom or a molecule. Metals are electropositive in nature because they loss electrons from their outermost shells. Non-metals are electronegative in nature because they gain electrons in their outermost shells.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The value of ionic charge for the metal ions of Group $\text{IVA}/14$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Ionic charge is defined as the charge possessed by an ion that results in due to the gain or loss of an electron by an atom or a molecule. Metals are electropositive in nature because they loss electrons from their outermost shells. Non-metals are electronegative in nature because they gain electrons in their outermost shells.
