Step-by-step solution
3 stepsHere's the solution to question 1 from the exam paper.
Question 1:
Complete the table for atom X and ions Y³⁻ and Z²⁺.
- Atom X:
- Mass number = 23
- Protons (A) = Electrons = 11 (for a neutral atom)
- Neutrons (B) = Mass number - Protons = 23 - 11 = 12
- Ion Y³⁻:
- Mass number = 14
- Neutrons = 7
- Protons (C) = Mass number - Neutrons = 14 - 7 = 7
- Electrons (D) = Protons + charge magnitude = 7 + 3 = 10
- Ion Z²⁺:
- Protons = 12
- Neutrons = 12
- Mass number (E) = Protons + Neutrons = 12 + 12 = 24
- Electrons (F) = Protons - charge magnitude = 12 - 2 = 10
The completed values are:
- A =
- B =
- C =
- D =
- E =
- F =
- Atom X:

Write the formula of the compound formed between Z²⁺ and Y³⁻ and identify the bond type.
-
To form a neutral compound, the charges must balance.
- has a charge of +2.
- has a charge of -3.
-
The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.
- We need three ions ().
- We need two ions ().
-
The formula of the compound is .
-
Since the compound is formed between a metal ion () and a non-metal ion (), the bond type is ionic.
-
Formula of the compound:
-
Bond type:
-
