The others didn't show probably because you tried to copy and paste. That doesn't work. You must type what you want to post.
My recommendation:
Draw the Lewis electron dot structure for each of the molecules you list. Then look to see which of the central ions can accept electrons.

Thanks for the headsup.
Yeh I have drawn the Lewis structures. How do I know which ions can accept electrons? Does that mean it has a unpaired electron?
