Which of the following polyatomic ions will form an ionic compound with a single sodium ion?

CO3 2-
HCO3 1-
SO4 2-
SO3 2-

Answer :

Answer:

Option B, HCO3 1-

Explanation:

The valence of Sodium ion is +1 and the valence of HCO3 is -1. Thus, sodium ion has an extra electron to be donated to complete its outer shell  while HCO3 needs an electron to complete its outer shell

Hence Na will combine with HCO3 to form NaHCO3

Option B is correct

adioabiola

The polyatomic ion which will form an ionic compound with a single sodium ion is; HCO3 ¹-

In chemical bonding between ions;

The major criteria is a balance of charges within the compound formed.

As such, all polyatomic ions in the option are di-ionic except for HCO3 1- which can perfectly form an ionic compound with 1 single sodium ion.
