Video transcript

Hey, everyone, we're asked to identify the group of the periodic table in which the element with the following louis symbol belongs. Looking at this louis symbol, we can see that we have 245 and six valence electrons in total, Since we have six valence electrons, this means that the group that this belongs to will have to be group six a. So I hope that made sense and let us know if you have any questions.

Illustrated are four ions — A, B, X, and Y— showing their relative ionic radii. The ions shown in red carry positive charges: a 2+ charge for A and a 1+ charge for B. Ions shown in blue carry negative charges: a 1- charge for X and a 2- charge for Y. (b) Among the combinations in part (a), which leads to the ionic compound having the largest lattice energy?
