The atomic number of four elements A, B, C and D are 12, 13, 15 and 3 respectively. The element which cannot form a cation is :(a) A (b) B (c) C (d) D

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 9

Correct Answer: (c) C

Explanation: Element C has 15 electrons; so, the electronic configuration is 2 , 8 , 5. This element will gain 3 electrons in order to complete its octet; so, it cannot form cations.
