MCQ
In the transition of $Zn$ atoms to $Z{n^{ + + }}$ ions there is a decrease in the
  • Number of valency electrons
  • B
    Atomic weight
  • C
    Atomic number
  • D
    Equivalent weight

Answer

Correct option: A.
Number of valency electrons
(a) Ion is formed by gaining or losing electrons. To form cation electron are lost from the valency shell, so $Zn$ atoms to $Z{n^{ + + }}$ ions there is a decrease in the no. of valency electron.
