QUESTION:
Write formulas for the compounds formed from the element on the left and each of the elements on the right.
(a) Li N, O, F
b) Ba N, O, F
(c) Al N, O, F
ANSWER:Solution 57P
Here, we are going to write the formulas formed by the given elements.
Step1:
While writing the chemical formulae for compounds, we write the constituent elements and their valencies. Then we must crossover the valencies of the combining atoms.
Step2:
- Li N, O, F
The compound formed by Li and N is lithium nitride
Thus, formula of the compound would be Li3N.
The compound formed by Li and O is lithium oxide.
Thus, formula of the compound would be Li2O.
The compound formed by Li and F is lithium fluoride.
