What is the formula of the ionic compounds formed from aluminum and Lithium?
Aluminum and lithium are both metals and will not form any ionic compounds together.
Would ionic or covalent molecules use the molecular formula or empirical formula?
What you write for an ionic compound is called the formula unit, but the formula unit is almost always the same as the empirical formula. The answer to your question could not be the molecular formula because an ionic compound is not a molecule.
What is the empirical formula of the ionic compound that forms sodium and fluorine?
NaF is the empirical formula
What is the lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound called?
an empirical formula For an ionic compound, the empirical formula is called a formula unit.
What is the empirical formula of MgO?
MgO is an ionic compound and all the ionic compounds are represented by their emperical formula because actual no of atoms can not be represented due to a very huge crystal formation.(crystal lattice).
Why some compounds have molecular and empirical formula?
The concept of empirical formulas apply to ionic compounds. You write the action first, the anion second, and use the minimal amount of atoms possible to make a neutral compound. A molecular formula would be the formula without necessarily the minimum amount of atoms.
