What subscripts would you most likely use if an alkali metal and a halogen formed an ionic compound?

I would most likely use a +1 subscript for the alkali metal and a -1 subscript for the halogen in an ionic compound, as alkali metals typically form ions with a +1 charge and halogens typically form ions with a -1 charge.

What are tetrahalides?

Tetrahalides are compounds that contain four halogen atoms bonded to a central metal atom. They are typically created by the reaction of a metal with halogens such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. Tetrahalides can have various applications in chemical synthesis and industrial processes.
