write down the formulae of the ionic compounds which contain the following pairs of a) Ca2+ and P3---->Ca3P2
b)Fe3+ and Br---->FeBr3
c) Mg2+ AND NO-3---> Mg3NO2 D) NH4+ AND S2----> S2(NH4)
K+1 Br-1 ------> ions and their charges
KBr ------> their charges add up to zero, so there is one atom of each in the compound
Name: Potassium bromide
K+1 Br-1 ------> ions and their charges
K Br ------> their charges add up to zero, so there is one atom of each in the compound
Name: Potassium bromide
The chemical formula of K and Br is,
Potassium Bromide.
The word equation of K and Br is,
Potassium + Bromine= Potassium Bromide
K gives 1 electron and Br ,a halogen, excepted it. so formula is K-Br
The chemical formula of potassium bromide is KBr.
LiBr lithium bromide
The chemical formula of lithium bromide is LiBr.
K+Br-
CaF2
AlF3. Aluminum trifluoride.
A chemical formula shows what elements a compound contains, and the ratio of the atoms or ions of the elements in the compound.
The chemical formula of a compound does not indicate the way that elements are joined in the compound. Chemical formulas tell you the identity of the elements in the compound and the relative proportions of the elements.
It is the chemical formula of a compound. It helps to identify the elements and their ratios i the compound. Also it is easy to use the formula to describe a compound.
CaF2
Ca2+ + 2 I- --> CaI2
AlF3. Aluminum trifluoride.
Ca2+ + 2 I- --> CaI2
the empirical formula of a compound tells you the proportions of the elements in the compound. with that information you can make some inferences about the identity of the compound. for example a compound with an empirical formula CH4 tells us that for every carbon atom there are four hydrogen atoms. this means that the compound is methane because no other hydrocarbon can have these roportions (try drawing the lewis structure for C2H8, which doesnt exist. you cant!)

The formula of the compound and the Atomic Mass of its elements.
Al3+ and 3 Cl- form AlCl3This chemical is a great catalyst for organic chemists- in Friedel-Krafts and chlorination of benzene.
