Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formula of the given ionic compound is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The smallest whole number ratio in which cations and anions combine to form neutral substances is indicated by the formula of the ionic compound.

In the formation of ionic compound formula, if the charge on the cation and the anion is the same, they combine in a 1:1 ratio.

In the formation of an ionic compound’s formula, if the charge on the cation and the anion is not the same, the charge of the cation is the subscript of the anion and the charge of the anion is the subscript of the cation.
