The formula for europium oxide is Eu203. On the basis of this information, the formula for the chlorate of europium would be expected to be

Eu(ClO3)3

Explanation:

The chlorate ion is written as follows, ClO⁻ ₃. We can see from this that the ion is univalent.

From the formula, Eu203, it is easy to see that the europium ion is trivalent.

Hence, when a compound is formed between the europium ion and chlorate ion, the compound will be written as Eu(ClO3)3.

This is so because, when ionic compounds are formed, there is an exchange of valence between the ions in the compound. This gives the final formula of the ionic substance.

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
