Title: What is the correct formula for an ionic compound formed from the following ions? Post by: smooth15 on Feb 15, 2013 Hello,
I was wondering if someone could tell me the correct formula for the following ionic compounds.I want to compare my answers with someone who REALLY knows this stuff! I just want to make sure Im doing my homework correctly!\ Ca2+ and OH- Na+ and HCO3- Ca2+ and PO43- Na+ and F- Thanks in advance!=) Title: What is the correct formula for an ionic compound formed from the following ions? Post by: michal.levy on Feb 15, 2013 Ca(OH)2
Na3HCO Ca3(PO4)2 NaF numbers should be subscripts.. there should be any superscripts anymore Title: What is the correct formula for an ionic compound formed from the following ions? Post by: rivetcolin on Feb 15, 2013 1. Ca(OH)2 (2 is a subscript)
2. NaHCO3 3. Ca3(PO4)2 (all numbers are subscripts) 4. NaF btw Miguel's answer is wrong because Na should not have a subscript of 3. It would only be that way if the HCO3- ion had a CHARGE of 3-, but the 3 means there are 3 oxygens and the charge is 1-. |
