Question

question 2 6 pts elements of group va generally form ions with a charge of +5. +3. -2. -3. question 3 6 pts elements of group 6a generally form ions with a charge of +1. +2. -1. -2.

Explanation:

Elements in Group VA (Group 15) have 5 valence - electrons. They tend to gain 3 electrons to achieve a stable octet, forming ions with a charge of - 3. Elements in Group 6A (Group 16) have 6 valence - electrons. They gain 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet, forming ions with a charge of - 2.

Answer:

Question 2: D. -3
Question 3: D. -2
