Consider an ion with the symbol Y 3— formed from a representative element. (5.2, 5.3) Required:
a. What is the group number of the element?
b. What is the electron-dot symbol of the element?
c. If Y is in Period 3, what is the element?
d. What is the formula of the compound formed from the barium ion and Y?

a) group 15

b) see diagram attached

c) phosphorus

d) Ba3Y2

Explanation:

Elements in group 15 have five valence electrons. To complete their octet, they can accept three electrons from other chemical species to form a trivalent anion such as Y^3-.

If Y^3- is in period 3, the element must be phosphorus. Also, considering that the valency of Y^3- is -3 and that of barium is +2, a compound formed between the both elements will have the symbol Ba3Y2.

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
