Solved by a verified expert :Use your knowledge of electron configurations to explain the following observations: a. Silver tends to form ions with a charge of 1+, but the elements to the left and right of silver in the periodic table tend to form ions with 2+ charges. b. The heavier group 13 elements (Ga, In, Tl) tend to form ions with charges of 1+ or 3+ but not 2+. c. The heavier elements of group 14 (Sn, Pb) and group 4 (Ti, Zr, Hf) tend to form ions with charges of 2+ or 4+.
