Chapter 2, Problem 73QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the similarity in the chemical formula of ionic compounds and their empirical formula is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The chemical formula foran ionic compound represents the whole number ratio in which the ions combine to form an electrically neutral substance.
The summation of charges on the anion and cation in every formula must be zeroto become neutral.
The formulathatindicates the ratio of the combination of molecules to form a compound is the empirical formula.

In 1808 John Dalton published his atomic theory which was quickly adopted. The five tenets of Dalton's theory are
An element is composed of tiny indivisible, indestructible particles called atoms.
All the atoms of an element are identical and have the same properties.
Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.
Compounds contain atoms in ratios of small whole numbers.
Atoms can combine in more than one ratio to form different compounds.
Although all of the statements were valid at the time, several have been modified as new discoveries were made. Which of these tenets have been modified? What caused the modification?
Write the chemical formula for the following compound. Isthe compound ionic or molecular? Name the compound.
Consider the following hypothetical atoms:
13°X has 62 electrons and 1Y has 78 electrons.

Assume the masses of the protons and neutrons are 1.00 amu, and that the masses of the
electrons are negligible. For the ionic compound formed between the atoms, what is the

However not all ionic bonds are formed with monatomic ions, polyatomic ions can form ionic bonds as well. The prefix poly- means many and atomic refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one atom. This differentiates polyatomic ions from monatomic ions, which contain only one atom. Examples of monatomic ions include Na+, Fe3+, Cl-, and many, many others. We can think about polyatomic ions by comparing them to monatomic ions. A monatomic ion is an atom that has been ionized by gaining or losing electrons. The ion has a net charge because the total number of electrons is not balanced by the total number of protons in the nucleus. Thus, compared to the neutral atom, we have extra electrons—in the case of a negatively charged anion—or not enough electrons—in the case of a positively charged cation. For example, a neutral chlorine atom has an atomic number of 17, which means it has 17…arrow_forwardWriting the formulas for the resulting compounds silicate selenide hydrogen sulfate Iron (iii) Mercury (I)arrow_forward
