The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each option to determine whether the matches regarding the formation of ions are correct or incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ions**: - A **positive ion** (cation) is formed when an atom loses electrons. - A **negative ion** (anion) is formed when an atom gains electrons. 2. **Analyzing Option (A)**: - **Dipositive ion**: This means the ion has a charge of +2, indicating it has lost 2 electrons. - In a neutral atom, if it loses 2 electrons, it must have had 2 electrons in its valence shell. - **Conclusion**: This match is **correct**. 3. **Analyzing Option (B)**: - **Unipositive ion**: This means the ion has a charge of +1, indicating it has lost 1 electron. - If it has 7 electrons in its valence shell in the neutral atom, it means it originally had 7 electrons and lost 1, leaving it with 6 electrons in the valence shell. - **Conclusion**: This match is **incorrect** because a unipositive ion should have 1 electron in the valence shell after losing 1 electron. 4. **Analyzing Option (C)**: - **Trinegative ion**: This means the ion has a charge of -3, indicating it has gained 3 electrons. - If it has 3 electrons in its valence shell in the neutral atom, it would have originally had 5 electrons (3 gained to complete the octet). - **Conclusion**: This match is **incorrect** because a trinegative ion should have 5 electrons in the valence shell after gaining 3 electrons. 5. **Analyzing Option (D)**: - **Dinegative ion**: This means the ion has a charge of -2, indicating it has gained 2 electrons. - If it has 6 electrons in its valence shell in the neutral atom, it originally had 4 electrons (gaining 2 to complete the octet). - **Conclusion**: This match is **correct**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect matches are found in options **(B)** and **(C)**. ---
