+3 ion
Molybdenum typically forms the Mo^6+ ion, which has a charge of +6. This ion is stable due to the electron configuration of molybdenum.
Phosphorus will form the P3- ion, strontium will form the Sr2+ ion, oxygen will form the O2- ion, gallium will form the Ga3+ ion, and lithium will form the Li+ ion.
Many different chemical species can form an ion with a plus 1 change. The most common example of cations of this type are the alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium.
Phosphorus will form the phosphide (P3-) ion.
+3 ion
Mercury could be reacted with Nitric acid to form Mercurous nitrate. Since hydrogen is less reactive than mercury, therefore mercury would not replace hydrogen from nitric acid but the nitrate ion could oxidize mercury ion and form mercurous chloride .
A sulfur atom will gain two electrons to form a 2- sulfide ion.
+3 ion
The formation of an ionic bond with Hg2^2+ (mercury(I) ion) typically occurs when it reacts with an anion to achieve a stable electron configuration. The mercury atom loses two electrons to form the Hg2^2+ ion, which then is attracted to a negatively charged ion to form an ionic bond.
Einsteinium can form cations as Es2+ or Es3+.
Another name for the mercuric ion is the mercury(II) ion.
Na+ Cation
Helium is chemically inert and does not form any type of ions.
every element
The oxidation number of mercury in the mercurous ion (Hg₂²⁺) is +1. Each mercury atom in the mercurous ion carries a charge of +1.
Chlorine can form a chloride ion with a -1 charge by gaining one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
