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
