Answer:
(i). The elements that are likely to form a cation
(C). calcium, (D). barium, (E). cesium, (F). rubidium, (G). lead and (H). scandium
(ii). The elements those that will always form ionic compounds in a 1:2 ratio with the halogens
(B). lead, (G) barium and (I). calcium
Explanation:
Given that,
The following list of elements,
A. oxygen B. chlorine C. calcium D. barium E. cesium F. rubidium G. lead H. scandium I. phosphorous
We know that,
Cation is defined as, an element which is able to donate electron easily and obtained positive ion.
All metal elements able to form cations.
We need to find the elements that are likely to form a cation
Using given list
(C). calcium
(D). barium
(E). cesium
(F). rubidium
(G). lead
(H). scandium
(II). The following list of elements,
A. phosphorous B. lead C. chlorine D. cesium E. rubidium F. scandium G. barium H. oxygen I. calcium
We know that,
All given metal ions can form ionic compound with halogens as 1:2 ratio because all given metals can form +2 charge.
We need to calculate the elements those that will always form ionic compounds in a 1:2 ratio with the halogens
Using given list.
(B). lead
(G) barium
(I). calcium
Hence, (i). The elements that are likely to form a cation
(C). calcium, (D). barium, (E). cesium, (F). rubidium, (G). lead and (H). scandium
(ii). The elements those that will always form ionic compounds in a 1:2 ratio with the halogens
(B). lead, (G) barium and (I). calcium
