Predict the charge on the monatomic ions formed from the following atoms in binary ionic compounds: (a) |(b) sr(c) k(d) n(e) s(f) in

(a) I⁻ (charge 1-)

(b) Sr²⁺ (charge 2+)

(c) K⁺ (charge 1+)

(d) N³⁻ (charge 3-)

(e) S²⁻ (charge 2-)

(f) In³⁺ (charge 3+)

Explanation:

To predict the charge on a monoatomic ion we need to consider the octet rule: atoms will gain, lose or share electrons to complete their valence shell with 8 electrons.

(a) |

I has 7 valence electrons so it gains 1 electron to form I⁻ (charge 1-).

(b) Sr

Sr has 2 valence electrons so it loses 2 electrons to form Sr²⁺ (charge 2+).

(c) K

K has 1 valence electron so it loses 1 electron to form K⁺ (charge 1+).

(d) N

N has 5 valence electrons so it gains 3 electrons to form N³⁻ (charge 3-).

(e) S

S has 6 valence electrons so it gains 2 electrons to form S²⁻ (charge 2-).

(f) In

In has 3 valence electrons so it loses 3 electrons to form In³⁺ (charge 3+).

it is important to conserve water because there is very limited amount of freshwater here on earth and if we are not smart about how we use it we will only be runnning out of our supply faster than neccessarry.
