Unlike elements in groups 1A-3A, which can form cations, and atoms in groups 7A-5A, which can form anions, noble gases generally do neither. Using neon as a specific example, explain why this is so. Identify the central atom (or atoms) in the given ion. ...
metals tend to form cations and nonmetals tend to form anions. b. elements are organized by proton aAtoms of an element X have the ground state electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p3. What type of ion is X most likely to form? a. X6+ b. X3- c...
Monatomic Ion Versus Monatomic Atom Technically, a monatomic ion is a form ofmonatomic atom. However, the term "monatomic atom" usually refers to neutral atoms of elements. Examples include atoms of krypton (Kr) and neon (Ne). While krypton, neon, and other noble gases typically exist as mo...
the oxygen atoms in water are attracted to cations and the hydrogen atoms in water are attracted to anions. When a zwitterion is dissolved in water, the hydrogen atoms in water immediately surround the negatively charged group and the oxygen atoms in water immediately surround the positively charge...
Unlike elements in groups 1A-3A, which can form cations, and atoms in groups 7A-5A, which can form anions, noble gases generally do neither. Using neon as a specific example, explain why this is so. What can be said about the ions of atoms in the s...
Chemistry is the branch which deals with the detailed study of matter, its properties, how and why atoms/substanced combine or separate to form other substances. Understand all the basic concepts of Organic, Inorganic, and Physical Chemistry with detaile
Cations are positively-charged ions (atoms or groups of atoms that have more protons than electrons due to having lost one or more electrons). Anions arenegatively-charged ions(meaning they have more electrons than protons due to having gained one or more electrons). ...
In its purest form, water is made from simple molecules consisting of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. However, all sources of water contain impurities, some are suspended matter and others are dissolved. While Envirogen’s filtration technologies target and remove insoluble, suspended elements, ...
Any of a number of chemical elements in the periodic table that form a metallic bond with other metal atoms; generally shiny, somewhat malleable and hard, often a conductor of heat and electricity. Metal Any material with similar physical properties, such as an alloy. Metal (astronomy) An ele...
