CHEMISTRY HELP! using only the periodic table, determine the charge on the ion that is formed by arsenic.
The ion charge is:
a. -3
b. -2
c. -1
d. 0
e. +1
f. +2
g. +3

also what is it for elements lithium and strontium?

A

Explanation:

Arsenic is in the same group as Nitrogen - group 5. They all have 5 valence electrons in their outermost shell. To achieve its most stable state - 8 valence electrons (octet rule - elements are most stable when the entire shell is filled) - arsenic needs to gain 3 electrons. Since electrons have a negative charge, the charge of an As ion would be -3.

Try observing the periodic table and how many valence electrons that each element has. From there, you can determine the charges of the elements lithium and strontium. You can guess, I'll help you with those once you attempt to find the charge of those ions.

because u need two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei to form isotopes.

so since they all have the same shape? i mean maybe because m& m and reeses are both chocolates
