What is charge on the cation sncl4

The charge on the cation is +4

Explanation:

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula of

It is formed by the combination of tin ions and chloride ions.

Tin is the 50th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of

This element will loose 4 electrons to form ion

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of

This element will gain 1 electron to form ion

Thus, the charge on the cation is +4

10 years is the answer

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
