The position of three elements X, Y and ...

The position of three elements X, Y and Z in the periodic table are shown below:
(i) Which type of ion, cation or anion, will be formed by element X ?
(ii) Which element, Y or z, has the atom of comparatively larger size ?
Give reason in each case.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) The valency of X is one. It has tendency to lose one electron. Therefore, X will form cation.
(ii) Y, because atomic radius decreases across a period due to increase in the electrostatic force between electrons and nucleus.
