Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical formula of zinc chloride is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Ionic compounds consist of a metal cation and a non-metal anion. The rules that are used for determining the chemical formula of ionic compounds are as follows:

Firstly, identify the symbol of an element in the periodic table.

Then identify the charge on the cation and the anion.

Subsequently, the name of the cation is written followed by the name of the anion.

It is very important that the compound is electrically neutral or the charges of anions and cations are neutralized in the compound.
