Does the electron configuration denote the ratio of ions in the compound?
No. The formula unit for an ionic compound denotes the ratio of ions in the compound. For example, the formula unit NaCl indicates a ratio of 1 sodium ion to 1 chloride ion, CaCl2 indicates a ratio of 1 calcium ion to 2 chloride ions, and Fe2O3 indicates a ratio of 2 iron ions to 3 oxide ions.
A mixed oxide has the formula X7O8 If element X exists both as X2 and X3 ions in the compound what is the ratio of X2 to X3?
5 to 2
Why lithium fluoride is a neutral compound even though it is made up of ions that have posotive and negative charges?
Lithium ions have a charge of +1 and fluoride ions have a charge of -1. The formula unit for lithium fluoride is LiF, which means that the lithium and fluoride ions are present in a 1:1 ratio. So the positive and negative charges cancel each other, and the compound lithium fluoride is neutral.
What will the ratio of ions be in any compound formed from a group A metal and a group A nonmetal?
The ratio will be 1:1. When they react chemically with one another, the group 1A metals (the alkali metals) give up one electron, forming ions with a charge of 1+, and the group 7A (17) halogens gain the electron given up by the metal, forming ions with a 1- charge. When they react chemically with one another, they form a neutral ionic compound with a ratio of 1alkali metal:1halogen. Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl Li+ + Br- --> LiBr K+ + F- --> KF
How many atoms does fe have?
If you are simply counting up the formula, it would be 9 atoms. However, this is an ionic compound so it is made of ions, not atoms, and if it's a solid the formula only shows the ratio of ions in a giant structure.
