Which statement best predicts and explains the product of a single displacement reaction when the cation (A) with an oxidation number of +2 and an anion (B) with the oxidation number of -3 react and form a compound?


A+2B-3 is the predicted formula when each metal cation has a charge of +2 and each non metal has a charge of -3.


B2A3 is the final formula for the metal anion bonding to the non-metal cation in a 2:3 ratio.


A3B2 is the predicted formula with an overall charge of the compound being zero and each atom has 8 valence electrons in their outermost electron shell.


A3B2 is the predicted formula is made when each metal cation gains three electrons from the anion while each nonmetal loses 2 electrons to each of the cations.

Respuesta :

The statement that best predicts and explains the product of a single displacement reaction is ;   ( C ) A3B2 is the predicted formula with an overall charge of the compound being zero and each atom has 8 valence electrons in their outermost electron shell.

Octet state

Given that the oxidation number is +2 shows that it will be an octet when it donates its 2 electrons. also for octet B it will become complete when it accepts 3 electrons. Therefore in order to balance out the octet of each atom is by cross multiplying to get A3B2.

Hence we can conclude that The statement that best predicts and explains the product of a single displacement reaction is ;  A3B2 is the predicted formula with an overall charge of the compound being zero and each atom has 8 valence electrons in their outermost electron shell.
