Column B
a.-3
b.0
c.+3
d.-1
e.+4/-4
f.+2
g.-2
h.+1

Answer 1

Here's the matching of groups from Column A to the types of ions they typically form in Column B:

1. Group 1A: h. +1
2. Group 2A: f. +2
3. Group 3A: c. +3
4. Group 4A: e. +4/-4
5. Group 5A: a. -3
6. Group 6A: g. -2
7. Group 7A: d. -1
8. Group 8A: b. 0

These assignments reflect the common oxidation states and ionic charges that these groups typically exhibit based on their positions in the periodic table.
