Question
Elements X, Y, Z have atomic numbers 6, 9 and 12 respectively. Which one:
- forms anion – negative ion;
- forms cation – positive ion;
- has 4 electrons in the outermost orbit. [Y, Z, X]
Solution
Atomic number of
X = 6 = number of electrons (2, 4)
∴ X has 4 electrons in outermost orbit.
Y = 9 = number of electrons (2, 7)
∴ Y form anion = negative ion
Z = 12 = [2, 8, 2]
∴ Z forms cation – positive ion.
