Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:

Zn+2, Fe+2, Br−, O−2
Expert Solution
Step 1

The ions given are Zn2+, Fe2+, Br- and O2-.

Ionic compounds are made up of anion and cations

Hence any binary ionic compound will have any 1 type of anion and 1 type of cation.

Since we have been given with 2 cations and 2 anions.

Hence each combination of anion and cation will give 1 binary ionic compound.
