Question

From your knowledge about the distribution of electrons in their shells and from the atomic number (in parentheses), indicate the most likely charge on the ion when this atom forms an ion. (Remember the 2-8-18 shell distribution.)

Hydrogen (1)


A. +1

B. -1

C. 2


please help as soon as possible! just to clarify this is actually a biochemistry question!

Answer 1

+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen has 1 electron in the valence and its only shell.

So it will lose an electron,that is , dissociate into H+ ions leaving with the charge H+.
