Interpretation:
The formulas for the ionic compounds formed between the pair of given elements are to be written.
Concept Introduction:
An ionic compound consists of ions that have electrostatic interaction between them which is termed as ionic bonding.
The element symbols and subscripts in an ionic compound are represented by a chemical formula.
While writing the chemical formula for an ionic compound, the symbol of the metal is written first, which is followed by the symbol of the non-metal.
Formal charge equation can be given as:
where
The arithmetic sum of all the formal charges in a molecule or ion will equal the overall charge on the molecule or ion.

Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter
- In a hypothetical universe, an oil-drop experiment gave the following measurements of charges on oil drops: 5.55 1019 C, 9.25 1019 C, 1.11 1018 C, and 1.48 1018 C. Assume that the smallest difference in charge equals the unit of negative charge in this universe. What is the value of this unit of charge? How many units of excess negative charge are there on each oil drop?arrow_forwardA sample of green crystals of nickel(II) sulfate heptahydrate was heated carefully to produce the bluish green nickel(II) sulfate hexahydrate. What are the formulas of the hydrates? If 8.753 g of the heptahydrate produces 8.192 g of the hexahydrate, how many grams of anhydrous nickel(II) sulfate could be obtained?arrow_forwardFrom the following written description, write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction including state symbols. A diatomic gaseous molecule that contains 17 protons per atom is reacted with a solid element that has an atomic number of 19 to yield an ionic compound.arrow_forward
- Cobalt(II) sulfate heptahydrate has pink-colored crystals. When heated carefully, it produces cobalt(II) sulfate monohydrate, which has red crystals. What are the formulas of these hydrates? If 3.548 g of the heptahydrate yields 2.184 g of the monohydrate, how many grams of the anhydrous cobalt(II) sulfate could be obtained?arrow_forwardThere are 2.619 1022 atoms in 1.000 g of sodium. Assume that sodium atoms are spheres of radius 1.86 and that they are lined up side by side. How many miles in length is the line of sodium atoms?arrow_forwardThe isotope of an unknown element, X, has a mass number of 79. The most stable ion of the isotope has 36 electrons and forms a binary compound with sodium, having a formula of Na2X. Which of the following statements is(are) true? For the false statements, correct them. a. The binary compound formed between X and fluorine will be a covalent compound. b. The isotope of X contains 38 protons. c. The isotope of X contains 41 neutrons. d. The identity of X is strontium, Sr.arrow_forward
- A sample of metallic element X, weighing 3.177 g, combines with 0.6015 L of O2 gas (at normal pressure and 20.0C) to form the metal oxide with the formula XO. If the density of O2 gas under these conditions is 1.330 g/L, what is the mass of this oxygen? The atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999 amu. What is the atomic weight of X? What is the identity of X?arrow_forwardThe element europium exists in nature as two isotopes: 151Eu has a mass of 150.9196 amu, and 153Eu has a mass of 152.9209 amu. The average atomic mass of europium is 151.96 amu. a. Calculate the relative abundance of the two europium isotopes. b. Graph each fractional abundance value as a y-axis value in association with its corresponding mass value on the x-axis. Starting from each x-axis value, where y = 0, draw a vertical line up to the fractional abundance value. The result will approximate the type of visual graph a mass spectrometer would yield for europium in the 150155 amu range.arrow_forwardTwo basic laws of chemistry are the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. Which of these laws (if any) do the following statements illustrate? (a) The mass of phosphorus, P, combined with one gram of hydrogen, H, in the highly toxic gas phosphene, PH3, is a little more than twice the mass of nitrogen, N, combined with one gram of hydrogen in ammonia gas, NH3. (b) A cold pack has the same mass before and after the seal between two reactants is broken to allow reaction to occur. (c) It is highly improbable that carbon monoxide gas found in Los Angeles is C1.2O1.1.arrow_forward

There are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom per water molecule. c. The mass of oxygen is twice that of hydrogen in each molecule. d. There are two oxygen atoms and one hydrogen atom per water molecule.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about an individual atom? Explain. a. An individual atom should be considered to be a solid. b.An individual atom should be considered to be a liquid. c. An individual atom should be considered to be a gas. d. The state of the atom depends on which element it is. e. An individual atom cannot be considered to be a solid, liquid, or gas.
