2. Potassium forms ions with a charge of +1 (Ka+). Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. Selenium forms ions with a charge of -2 (Se2-).

Imagine that Potassium ions and Selenide ions combine to form Potassium Selenide. What numbers would be in the place of X and Y in:

KXSeY

(Use the number 1 even if it isn't strictly necessary)

X=______ Y =______


3. You are balancing an ionic compound. Let's call it: AB.

Ion A has a charge of +2 and Ion B has a charge of -3.

Therefore, you determine that the ionic compound (AB) will have a ratio of 3 As for every 2 Bs.

How would you modify AB in order to show that they have this 3-to-2 ratio?

Question options:

3A2B

A3B2

4. Calcium forms ions with a charge of +2. Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1.

Which of the following would represent an ionic compound composed of Calcium and Iodide ions?

Question options:

CaI2

CaI

Ca2I

Ca2I

2CaI

CaI2

Respuesta :

I just took the test, the correct answers are ...

1. Two negative ones balance out one positive two.

2. X = 2, Y = 1

3. A₃B₂

4. Cal₂

1) The number of negative ones (-1) would you need to balance out one positive 2 (+2) is;

Option C; Two negative ones balance out one positive two

2) The numbers that would be in the place of X and Y in   [tex]K_{X}Se_{Y}[/tex] is;

X = 2 and Y = 1

3) AB will be modified in order to show that they have this 3-to-2 ratio as;

Option B; A₃B₂.

4) The formula that will represent an ionic compound composed of Calcium and Iodide ions is; Option A; CaI₂

1) To balance out the ions, it means addition of them should be equal to zero. Thus, to balance out one positive two (+2) with negative 1 (-1), the expression is;

+2 + x(-1) = 0

2 - x = 0

x = 2

Thus, we need 2 negative ones to balance out one positive two.

2) We are told that potassium(K) forms ions with a charge of +1 and selenium (Se) forms ions with a charge of -2.

When two ions combine, the product element will have its'  subscript as the absolute value of the ion of its' sharing ion. Thus;

We will have; K₂Se₁

Comparing with [tex]K_{X}Se_{Y}[/tex], then; X = 2 and Y = 1

3) We are told that;

Ion A has a charge of +2 and Ion B has a charge of -3.

From the concept in answer 2 above, it means that the answer will be;

A₃B₂.

4) We are told that;

Calcium forms ions with a charge of +2. Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. An ionic compound formed by both ions using the concept earlier used would give us; CaI₂
