(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula of zirconium oxide is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are made up of ions that are bonded by electrostatic forces of attraction. In ionic compounds, cations are defined as the positively charged ions, whereas anions are the negatively charged ions.
