Question

For each atom in the table below, write down the subshell from which an electron would have to be removed to form a +1 cation and the subshell to which an electron would have to be added to make a -1 anion. The first row has been completed for you. | atom | subshell from which electron removed to form +1 cation | subshell to which electron added to form -1 anion | |---|---|---| | H | 1s | 1s | | K | | | | Ca | | | | Fe | | |

Step 1

However, I can explain the general concept. An anion is formed when an atom gains an electron. This electron is added to the outermost energy level, or shell, of the atom. This shell is also known as a subshell. Show more…
