Forming Formulae of Ionic Compounds:
For learning
the formation of molecular formulae of compounds; Consider the following
example:
Cation = A+X
Anion = B-Y
A+X + B-Y = AYBX
Molecular
formula is given by = AYBX
If X = Y
then = AB
The compound
formed is electrically neutral, with charge 0. It consists of positively and
negatively charged ions.
