2. Write symbols of the following
elements and the radicals obtained
from them, and indicate the charge
on the radicals.
Mercury, potassium, nitrogen, copper,
sulphur, carbon, chlorine, oxygen​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The symbol of the Element is simply just the abbreviation.  

 

Mercury: Hg  

Potassium: K  

Nitrogen: N  

Copper: Cu  

Sulphur: S  

Carbon: C  

Chlorine: Cl  

Oxygen: O  

 

The number of unpaired valence electrons determine the radical in any element.  

 

Mercury: Hg 2+  

Potassium: K+  

Nitrogen: N 2+  

Copper: Cu 2+  

Sulphur: S 2-  

Carbon: C 4+  

Chlorine: Cl -  

Oxygen: O 2-
