14. Would you expect each of the following atoms to gain or lose electrons when forming ions ? what ion is the most likely in each case ? a. Ra b. Br c. In d. Te e. Ca f. As g. Al h. Rb

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Metals lose electrons and Nonmetals gain them.

a. Ra is in group IIA it will lose electrons, the ion will be Ra⁺²

b. Br is in group VIIA it will gain electrons, the ion will be Br⁻¹

c. In is in group IIIA it will lose electrons, the ion will be In⁺³

d. Te is in group VIA it will gain electrons, the ion will be Te⁻²

e. Ca is in group IIA it will lose electrons, the ion will be Ca⁺²

f. As is in group VA it will gain electrons, the ion will be As⁻³

g. Al is in group IIlA it will lose electrons, the ion will be Al⁺³

h. Rb is in group IA it will lose electrons, the ion will be Rb⁺¹

what is the question here. i think you messed up.
