Match each of the unknown ions to its appropriate description.

Match Term Definition
V2+ A) A nonmetal that gained two electrons
X3+ B) A metal that lost two electrons
Y3− C) A nonmetal that gained three electrons
Z2− D) A metal that lost three electrons

Respuesta :

V²+ = (B)

X³+ = (D)

Y³- = (C)

Z²- = (A)

When an element loses electrons, the element gains a positive charge

When an element gains electrons, the element gains a negative charge

NOTE: Electrons are negative charges

An ion is formed when a chemical specie accepts or donates one or more electrons.

If a specie gains two electrons than it will have a charge of -2. If a specie gains three electrons it will have a charge of -3.

Similarly, if a specie looses two electrons, it will have a charge of +2. If a specie looses three electrons, it will have a charge of +3.

So the magnitude of positive or negative charge that a specie carries shows the number of electrons lost or gained by the specie.

Summarily, the species below are matched with their most accurate description;

V2+ ------- A metal that lost two electrons

X3+ -------- A metal that lost three electrons

Y3− -------- A nonmetal that gained three electrons

Z2− -------- A nonmetal that gained two electrons
