What is the ratio of anion to cations in a compound formed by a group 2A metal and a group 7A nonmetal?

1 to 2


What do group 7A elements become when they react with group 1A?

Atoms of column 7A become anions when they react with atoms of group 1A elements, which become cations. Both the cations and the anions are monovalent. The cations and anions together form an ionically bonded compound.


What type of bonds do Group 1A and Group 7A elements make?

Group 1A elements, known as alkali metals, typically form ionic bonds with Group 7A elements, which are halogens. This occurs when the alkali metal donates an electron to the halogen, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride (NaCl).


Are Group 7A elements the alkaline earth metals?

No, Group 7A elements are the halogens - a highly reactive group of nonmetals. Alkaline earth metals are found in Group 2A of the periodic table and are characterized by being shiny, silvery-white metals that react readily with water.


How might cations in group 1 be separated from cations in group 2?

If your Group 2 cations are calcium, strontium or barium, add a solution containing sulphate ions, i.e. sulphuric acid or the sulphate of the Group I metal that is the Group I cations in your solution. The Group 2 cations will precipitate out with the sulphate ions. If you have beryllium or magnesium cations, then I don't know.


What is 7a in the periodic table?

"A" is not used as a symbol in the periodic table. Each element is represented by a unique symbol, such as "H" for hydrogen or "Na" for sodium. If you meant "7A" as a group number, group 7A includes the halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine).


To which main group does x belong to in the ionic compound formula XCl2?

group 2 because Cl is in group 7a with a charge of -1 and multiplied by 2 gives you -2. Balancing this equation out requires X being +2. Hope that helps.


What is the usual charge on an ion from group 7A?

The usual charge on an ion from group 7A (also known as group 17) is -1. This is because elements in group 7A, such as fluorine, chlorine, and bromine, typically gain one electron to achieve a full outer electron shell, resulting in a -1 charge.


What is 7a-a-a-a-a?

The expression ( 7a - a - a - a - a ) simplifies by combining like terms. You can group the ( a ) terms together: ( 7a - 4a ), which results in ( 3a ). Therefore, the simplified expression is ( 3a ).


What are the Group 1A and Group 7A elements examples of?

Sodium and Chlorine = Sodium Chloride Potassium and Iodine = Potassium Iodide


What is the group precipitant of group 1 cations?

The group precipitant of group 1 cations is dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl). When added to a solution containing group 1 cations, it precipitates them as chlorides, which can then be further identified through specific confirmation tests.


How many electrons occur in the valence level of Group 7A and 7B elements. Why are they different?

Group 7A elements have 7 electrons in their valence level, while Group 7B elements have 17 electrons in their valence level. This difference occurs because elements in Group 7A have 7 valence electrons, while elements in Group 7B have 7 valence electrons plus the 10 additional electrons in the d sublevel which contributes to a total of 17 valence electrons.
