Question 2
Looking at the periodic table, determine the charge each atom will make when it bonds with other atoms.

Column A
1.
Calcium (Ca):
Calcium (Ca)
2.
Francium (Fr):
Francium (Fr)
3.
Bromine (Br):
Bromine (Br)
4.
Sulfur (S):
Sulfur (S)
5.
Xenon (Xe):
Xenon (Xe)
6.
Carbon (C):
Carbon (C)
7.
Phosphorous (P):
Phosphorous (P)
8.
Boron (B):
Boron (B)
Column B
a.+2
b.-1
c.+3
d.+4/-4
e.0
f.-2
g.-3
h.+1

Answer 1

Here are the charges for each atom when they bond with other atoms, according to their position in the periodic table:

1. **Calcium (Ca)**: a. +2
2. **Francium (Fr)**: h. +1
3. **Bromine (Br)**: b. -1
4. **Sulfur (S)**: f. -2
5. **Xenon (Xe)**: e. 0
6. **Carbon (C)**: d. +4/-4
7. **Phosphorous (P)**: c. +3
8. **Boron (B)**: c. +3

So, the correct matches are:
1. Ca: +2 (a)
2. Fr: +1 (h)
3. Br: -1 (b)
4. S: -2 (f)
5. Xe: 0 (e)
6. C: +4/-4 (d)
7. P: +3 (c)
8. B: +3 (c)
