Question

list as many similarities between these three species as you can. check all that apply. □ all contain 1 sulfur atom. □ all represent cations. □ all contain nonmetals only. □ all have a charge. □ all contain sulfur and oxygen. □ all represent anions.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To solve this, we analyze each option:

  1. "All contain 1 sulfur atom": Not necessarily true (e.g., polyatomic ions with multiple S could exist, but if the three species are like \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{S^{2-}} \), the first two have 1 S, but \( \ce{S^{2-}} \) also has 1 S? Wait, maybe the species are sulfates/sulfites. Wait, maybe the three species are oxyanions of sulfur. But maybe this is not universal.
  2. "All represent cations": No, sulfates/sulfites are anions, so this is false.
  3. "All contain nonmetals only": Sulfur and oxygen are nonmetals, so if the species are like \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{S^{2-}} \), they contain only nonmetals (S and O are nonmetals). So this is true.
  4. "All have a charge": Ions (anions/cations) have charges, so if these are ions, they have charges. So this is true.
  5. "All contain sulfur and oxygen": If one of the species is \( \ce{S^{2-}} \), it has no oxygen, so this is false.
  6. "All represent anions": Sulfur - based oxyanions (like sulfates, sulfites) and \( \ce{S^{2-}} \) are anions, so if the three species are anionic, this is true.

Assuming the three species are sulfur - based anions (e.g., \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{S^{2-}} \)):

  • "All contain nonmetals only": S and O are nonmetals, so true.
  • "All have a charge": Ions have charges, so true.
  • "All represent anions": These are anions, so true.
  • "All contain 1 sulfur atom": \( \ce{S^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \) all have 1 S atom, so true (if the species are these). Wait, maybe the three species are \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{HSO_4^{-}} \)? No, \( \ce{HSO_4^{-}} \) has H. But if we assume the three species are oxyanions of sulfur with 1 S, then "All contain 1 sulfur atom" is true. But maybe the intended species are sulfates, sulfites, and sulfide.

Wait, maybe the three species are \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{S^{2-}} \):

  • "All contain nonmetals only": Yes (S and O are nonmetals).
  • "All have a charge": Yes (they are ions).
  • "All represent anions": Yes (they are negatively charged).
  • "All contain 1 sulfur atom": Yes (each has 1 S).
  • "All contain sulfur and oxygen": No (\( \ce{S^{2-}} \) has no O).
  • "All represent cations": No.

So the correct options (assuming the species are sulfur - based anions with 1 S and O - containing or not, but likely the intended ones are oxyanions and sulfide, but maybe the problem has species like \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{S_2O_3^{2-}} \)? No, \( \ce{S_2O_3^{2-}} \) has 2 S.

Alternatively, if the three species are \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{HSO_4^{-}} \), but \( \ce{HSO_4^{-}} \) has H (a nonmetal, so "All contain nonmetals only" still holds). But \( \ce{HSO_4^{-}} \) has 1 S.

Given the options, the most probable correct ones (assuming common sulfur - based anions) are:

  • All contain nonmetals only.
  • All have a charge.
  • All represent anions.
  • All contain 1 sulfur atom (if the species are \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{S^{2-}} \)).

But let's re - evaluate:

  1. "All contain 1 sulfur atom": If the three species are \( \ce{SO_4^{2-}} \), \( \ce{SO_3^{2-}} \), \( \ce{S^{2-}} \), each has 1 S atom. So this is true.
  2. "All represent cations": False, as they are anions.
  3. "All contain nonmetals only": S and O (and H if present, but H is nonmetal) are nonmetals. So true.
  4. "All have a charge": True, as they are ions.
  5. "All contain sulfur and oxygen": False, \( \ce{S^{2-}} \) has no O.
  6. "All repre…

Answer:

  • All contain nonmetals only.
  • All have a charge.
  • All represent anions.
  • All contain 1 sulfur atom (depending on the specific species, but likely intended).
