Question

List all possible unit formulas (chemical formulas) that can be constructed by the formation of binary ionic compounds from the following elements. (Separate substances in a list with a comma.)

Cs (Z = 55),
 
Ba (Z = 56),
 
O (Z = 8),
 
I (Z = 53),
 
Sr (Z = 38)
Expert Solution
Step 1
  1. Binary ionic compound contains a metal and a nonmetal .Metals combine with nonmetals to give ionic compounds.
  2. Binary ionic compounds of Strontium Sr (Z=38) strontium has 2 valence electrons .Sr from cations Sr2+.Strontium reacts with iodine to form SrIAnd reacts with oxygen to form SrO strontium oxide.

  3. Cs,Ba,Sr has metallic elements and O,I are non metallic elements. Cs has one valence electron.
  4. Cs reacts with iodine to form Caesium iodide CsI 
  5. Cs reacts with oxygen to form CsO2.
  6. Barium has 2 valence electrons.
  7. Barium Ba reacts with iodine to form BaI2 .Barium reacts with oxygen to form Barium oxide BaO.One ion of  barium neutralizes one ion of oxygen,hence those two ions combine to form barium oxide.
