In the formula NaCl, there is one Cl- ion for each Na+ ion. This is because NaCl is a 1:1 ratio compound where one Na ion combines with one Cl ion to form a stable compound.
The chemical formula depends on the specific ions mentioned. Without knowing the ions, we cannot determine the formula or oxidation numbers. Can you provide the ions you are referring to?
To write the chemical formula of a compound with polyatomic ions, first determine the charge of each ion. Then, balance the charges by crisscrossing the numerical values of the charges to determine the subscripts of each ion in the formula. Finally, write the formula with the proper subscripts for each ion to balance the charges.
The proper formula unit for the combination of copper(II) ions and chloride ions is CuCl2. In this compound, each copper ion carries a 2+ charge (Cu^2+) and each chloride ion carries a 1- charge (Cl^-). The subscript 2 in the formula indicates that two chloride ions are needed to balance the charge of one copper(II) ion.
Chloride ions have a charge of 1-. Since the charge on an Mg ion is 2+, the formula unit of Magnesium Chloride is MgCl2. There are 2 chloride ions for each Mg ion.
In a sodium chloride crystal, each sodium ion is surrounded by six chloride ions, and each chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium ions. This results in a 1:1 ratio of sodium ions to chloride ions in the crystal lattice.

positive ion - magnesium(cation) negative ion-chloride (anion)
To write the chemical formula of a compound with polyatomic ions, first determine the charge of each ion. Then, balance the charges by crisscrossing the numerical values of the charges to determine the subscripts of each ion in the formula. Finally, write the formula with the proper subscripts for each ion to balance the charges.
The formula for the magnesium ion is Mg^2+ and for the fluoride ion is F^-. Therefore, the formula for magnesium fluoride is MgF2.
The proper formula unit for the combination of copper(II) ions and chloride ions is CuCl2. In this compound, each copper ion carries a 2+ charge (Cu^2+) and each chloride ion carries a 1- charge (Cl^-). The subscript 2 in the formula indicates that two chloride ions are needed to balance the charge of one copper(II) ion.
Chloride ions have a charge of 1-. Since the charge on an Mg ion is 2+, the formula unit of Magnesium Chloride is MgCl2. There are 2 chloride ions for each Mg ion.
The ions should form CaCl2 because the two chlorine atoms each take an electron from calcium to form the chloride ion Cl-, and the calcium becomes Ca2+ ion.
In a sodium chloride crystal, each sodium ion is surrounded by six chloride ions, and each chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium ions. This results in a 1:1 ratio of sodium ions to chloride ions in the crystal lattice.
One formula unit of CaCl2 will produce three ions: one Ca2+ ion and two Cl- ions.
The formula for the oxide ion is O2-, and the formula for the nitrate ion is NO3-.
