QUESTION:
Write the formulas of the following ionic compounds: (a) chromium sulfate (containing the \(\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}\) and \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\) ions) and (b) titanium oxide (containing the \(\mathrm{Ti}^{4+}\) and \(\mathrm{O}^{2-}\) ions).
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Here, we are asked to write the formulas for the given ionic compounds:
An ionic compound is a substance formed by the chemical binding of elements with opposite charges. The force of attraction between opposite charges keeps the molecule together. Simply put, Ionic compounds are generally combinations of metals and nonmetals where cations are metal ions and anions are nonmetal ions.
Example : Common table salt or Sodium chloride(NaCl), Silver iodide(AgI) .
