Match each of the unknown ions to its appropriate description. match term definition v3− a) a nonmetal that gained one electron x− b) a nonmetal that gained three electrons y+ c) a metal that lost one electron z3+ d) a metal that lost three electrons

V3− B) A nonmetal that gained three electrons

X− A) A nonmetal that gained one electron

Y+ C) A metal that lost one electron

Z3+ D) A metal that lost three electrons

An ion is formed when a chemical specie looses or gains electrons.

A positive ion refers to an ion formed by loosing electrons while a negative ion refers to an ion formed by gaining electrons. The magnitude of the positive or negative charge depends on the number of electrons lost or gained when the ion is formed.

A metal looses electrons to form positive ions while a nonmetal gains electrons to form negative ions. The following is a matching of unknown ions based on the most apt description.

i think a, hope it .

explanation:

it would be a gas formation
