Question

which of the cations in the table above would you predict would form iodides (compounds with iodine, i) having the cesium chloride (cscl) structure? group of answer choices al3 ba2 ca2 cs fe2 fe3 k mg2 mn2 na ni2 si4 ti4

Answer 1

Cesium (Cs) and Barium (Ba) cations would form iodides with the cesium chloride structure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cations in the table that would form iodides (compounds with iodine, I) having the cesium chloride (CsCl) structure are Cs (Cesium) and Ba (Barium). These cations are both in group 1 and have similar sizes, which allows them to form a simple cubic structure with iodide ions.
