The correct Answer is:
To determine which compounds contain a non-metallic cation, we need to analyze the oxidation states of the non-metal elements in each compound provided. Let's go through the compounds step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Compound A - CrO2Cl2 - **Elements**: Chromium (Cr), Oxygen (O), Chlorine (Cl) - **Oxidation States**: - Oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2. - Chlorine typically has an oxidation state of -1. - **Calculation**: - Let the oxidation state of Cr be x. - The equation based on the oxidation states is: \[ x + 2(-2) + 2(-1) = 0 \implies x - 4 - 2 = 0 \implies x = +6 \] - **Conclusion**: Cr is a metal and has an oxidation state of +6. O and Cl are anions. ### Step 2: Analyze Compound B - BOCl - **Elements**: Boron (B), Oxygen (O), Chlorine (Cl) - **Oxidation States**: - Oxygen is -2. - Chlorine is -1. - **Calculation**: - Let the oxidation state of B be y. - The equation is: \[ y + (-2) + (-1) = 0 \implies y - 3 = 0 \implies y = +3 \] - **Conclusion**: B is a metal and has an oxidation state of +3. O and Cl are anions. ### Step 3: Analyze Compound C - OF2 - **Elements**: Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F) - **Oxidation States**: - Fluorine is -1 (more electronegative). - Therefore, let the oxidation state of O be z. - **Calculation**: - The equation is: \[ z + 2(-1) = 0 \implies z - 2 = 0 \implies z = +2 \] - **Conclusion**: O has an oxidation state of +2, making it a cation. F is an anion. ### Step 4: Analyze Compound D - PF3 - **Elements**: Phosphorus (P), Fluorine (F) - **Oxidation States**: - Fluorine is -1. - Let the oxidation state of P be w. - **Calculation**: - The equation is: \[ w + 3(-1) = 0 \implies w - 3 = 0 \implies w = +3 \] - **Conclusion**: P has an oxidation state of +3, making it a cation. F is an anion. ### Final Conclusion - The compounds that contain non-metallic cations are **OF2** (Oxygen) and **PF3** (Phosphorus). ### Answer The non-metallic cation is present in **C (OF2)** and **D (PF3)**.
