Submit
19. Which of the following are true?

Explanation

Monatomic anions are usually gases because they are formed by gaining one or more electrons, resulting in a negatively charged ion with a smaller size. This smaller size allows the anion to have weaker intermolecular forces, leading to a lower boiling point and being more likely to exist as a gas. Almost all ionic compounds have metals because metals tend to lose electrons to form cations, while nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form anions. The attraction between the oppositely charged ions results in the formation of an ionic compound.
