v) Element A combines with chlorine to form a chloride of A. State the most likely pH value of a solution of a chloride of A. Explain.

  

Answers


John
(i) H: its outer electron can be lost easily since its far from the nucleus hence not held strongly

ii) B

iii) D

iv) A: It has a small atomic radius hence its outer electron is held strongly by the protons

v) -PH of the solution is 7

-The compound when dissolved in water ionizes to give a neutral solution. This is because the chloride is ionic
