Answer:
For a: The element X belongs to Group 1A
For b: The element X belongs to Group 7A
For c: The element X belongs to Group 3A
Explanation:
An ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.
These are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal or a metal reacts with a polyatomic ion or a reaction between two polyatomic ions takes place.
- For a: [tex]X_3PO_4[/tex]
This compound is formed by the combination of [tex]X^+\text{ and }PO_4^{3-}[/tex] ions
Here, element X is forming a positive ion because of its interaction with negative ion
The group which forms [tex]X^+[/tex] ions is Group 1 A
Hence, the element X belongs to Group 1A
- For b: [tex]CaX_2[/tex]
This compound is formed by the combination of [tex]Ca^{2+}\text{ and }X^-[/tex] ions
Here, element X is forming a negative ion because of its interaction with positive ion
The group which forms [tex]X^-[/tex] ions is Group 7 A
Hence, the element X belongs to Group 7A
- For c: [tex]X_2(SO_4)_3[/tex]
This compound is formed by the combination of [tex]X^{3+}\text{ and }SO_4^{2-}[/tex] ions
Here, element X is forming a positive ion because of its interaction with negative ion
The group which forms [tex]X^{3+}[/tex] ions is Group 3 A
Hence, the element X belongs to Group 3A
