Will give
match each of the unknown ions to its appropriate description.

1. y3−
2. v2+
3. z2−
4. x3+

a) a metal that lost two electrons

b) a metal that lost three electrons

c) a nonmetal that gained three electrons

d) a nonmetal that gained two electrons

Y³⁻  A non metal that gained three electrons.

V²⁺ A metal that lost two electron

Z²⁻ A non metal that gained two electrons

X³⁺ A metal that lost three electrons

Explanation:

Metals lost the electrons and form cation

while non metals gain the electrons and form anion.

Y³⁻

c) A non metal that gained three electrons.

Non metal gain three electrons and form anion with the charge of -3.

V²⁺

a) A metal that lost two electron

A metal lost two electrons and form cation with charge of +2.

Z²⁻

d) A non metal that gained two electrons

A non metal that gained two electrons and form anion with charge of -2.

X³⁺

b) A metal that lost three electrons

A metal that lost three electrons and form cation with charge of +3.
