The charge on the Sc ions in Sc2O3 is 3+. This can be determined by recognizing that oxide ions always have a charge of 2-, and there are three of them, so the total oxide charge is 6-. There are two scandium ions, and since the compound must be neutral, the total charge on the two scandium ions has to be 6+, so the charge on each scandium ion is 3+.

Is Sc2O3 a molecular compound?
No, Sc2O3 is an ionic compound, not a molecular compound. It is composed of scandium ions (Sc3+) and oxide ions (O2-), which are held together by ionic bonds.
Is Sc2O3 a covalent compound or an ionic compound?
Sc2O3 is an ionic compound. It is composed of Scandium (Sc) which is a metal, and Oxygen (O) which is a non-metal. In ionic compounds, metals donate electrons to non-metals to form charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
