**Predicting the Formula of Ionic Compounds with Common Ions**

Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:

\[ \text{NO}_3^- \, , \, \text{PO}_4^{3-} \, , \, \text{Pb}^{4+} \, , \, \text{Fe}^{2+} \]

**Instructions:**
- Use the boxes to combine ions and create empirical formulas.
- Use the undo and reset buttons to clear entries if needed.
- The text box is provided for inputting your answers.

This exercise helps in understanding how to combine ions to form ionic compounds, emphasizing the need for charge neutrality in the resulting compound. Consider different combinations to explore a variety of possible compounds.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Empirical formula: it can be defined as the simplest whole number ratio of different atoms in the compound.

Ionic compound:

Ionic compound composed of cation which is positively charged (+charge) and an anion which is negatively charged (-charge).

Ionic compound are electrically neutral.

Ionic compound composed of

1) A metal and a non metal eg. AlCl3

2) A metal and a polyatomic anion eg. Mg(NO3)2

3) A polyatomic cation and a non metal eg. NH4Br

4) A polyatomic cation and a polyatomic anion eg NH4NO3
