B C

d) Which type of ion, cation or anion, will be formed by element $A$ ?

Open in App

Solution

$A$ forms an anion.
A belongs to group 17 in the periodic table. Thus it is a halogen. Halogens have 7 electrons in their valance shell. They have a tendency to gain one elecyton to complete their octet. Thus A have the valency of -1 and forms an anion.
