Answer 1

Here is the correct matching of the groups from Column A to the types of ions they form in Column B:

1. Group 1A:
   e. +1
   (Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, typically form +1 cations.)

2. Group 2A:
   g. +2
   (Alkaline earth metals, such as magnesium and calcium, typically form +2 cations.)

3. Group 3A:
   d. +3
   (Elements like aluminum typically form +3 cations.)

4. Group 4A:
   a. +4/-4
   (Elements like carbon can form covalent bonds and may exhibit +4 or -4 oxidation states.)

5. Group 5A:
   h. -3
   (Elements like nitrogen typically form -3 anions, such as nitride.)

6. Group 6A:
   f. -2
   (Elements like oxygen typically form -2 anions, such as oxide.)

7. Group 7A:
   b. -1
   (Halogens, such as chlorine and fluorine, typically form -1 anions.)

8. Group 8A:
   c. 0
   (Noble gases are typically non-reactive and exist in their elemental form with no charge.)

So, the complete matches are:

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