Questions & Answers
QUESTION:
What monatomic ions do potassium (\(Z = 19\)) and iodine (\(Z = 53\)) form?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Here, we are asked to given the monatomic ions formed by potassium (K) and iodine (I).
To determine the charge of an element, we first locate the group number under which an element falls. For metals, the charge of the ion is equal to the group number and for the non-metals, the charge of the ion is determined by subtracting 8 from the group number.
