Read each question carefully and write the correct chemical formula for the given ionic compound. Remember to balance the charges.
Ionic compounds are formed when a metal and a nonmetal transfer electrons, creating positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The chemical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of these ions to achieve electrical neutrality.
Write the chemical formula for the following ionic compounds:
1. Sodium Chloride:
2. Magnesium Oxide:
3. Aluminum Fluoride:
4. Calcium Bromide:
5. Potassium Iodide:
Write the chemical formula for the following ionic compounds, paying attention to the Roman numerals:
6. Iron(III) Chloride:
7. Copper(I) Oxide:
8. Lead(II) Nitrate:
9. Which of the following is the correct formula for Ammonium Sulfate?
NH₄SO₄
(NH₄)₂SO₄
NH₄(SO₄)₂
(NH₄)₂SO₄₂
