From the following list of elements, select the elements that are likely to form a cation. Choose one or more: A. oxygen B. chlorine C. calcium D. barium E. cesium F. rubidium G. lead H. scandium I. phosphorous From the following list of elements, select those that will always form ionic compounds in a 1:2 ratio with the halogens. Choose one or more: A. phosphorous B. lead C. chlorine D. cesium E. rubidium F. scandium G. barium H. oxygen I. calcium

(i). The elements that are likely to form a cation

(C). calcium, (D). barium, (E). cesium, (F). rubidium, (G).  lead and (H). scandium

(ii). The elements those that will always form ionic compounds in a 1:2 ratio with the halogens

(B).  lead, (G) barium and (I). calcium

Explanation:

Given that,

The following list of elements,

A. oxygen B. chlorine C. calcium D. barium E. cesium F. rubidium G. lead H. scandium I. phosphorous

We know that,

Cation is defined as, an element which is able to donate electron easily and obtained positive ion.

All metal elements able to form cations.

We need to find the elements that are likely to form a cation

Using given list

(C). calcium

(D). barium

(E). cesium    

(F). rubidium    

(G).  lead

(H). scandium

(II). The following list of elements,

A. phosphorous B. lead C. chlorine D. cesium E. rubidium F. scandium G. barium H. oxygen I. calcium  

We know that,

All given metal ions can form ionic compound with halogens as 1:2 ratio because all given metals can form +2 charge.

We need to calculate the elements those that will always form ionic compounds in a 1:2 ratio with the halogens

Using given list.

(B).  lead

(G) barium

(I). calcium

Hence, (i). The elements that are likely to form a cation

(C). calcium, (D). barium, (E). cesium, (F). rubidium, (G).  lead and (H). scandium

(ii). The elements those that will always form ionic compounds in a 1:2 ratio with the halogens

(B).  lead, (G) barium and (I). calcium
