Which pair of elements will form an ionic compound with a 1:2 ratio between the cation and anion?
Cesium and selenium
Lithium and sulfur
Magnesium and bromine
Aluminum and nitrogen
Magnesium and bromine
Magnesium and bromine form the ionic compound, MgBr2, which has a ratio of 1:2 between the cation and anion. Magnesium forms a 2+ charge and needs two bromide ions (1- charge) to balance the 2+ charge.
just remember has to be in the right order
In the ionic compound AmBn, which element is the cation?
B
Additional information is needed to identify the cation
A
In the ionic compound AmBn, A is the cation because the cation is always written first in the formula for an ionic compound.
Which pair of ions will form an ionic compound with a 1:1 ratio?
Calcium and sulfur
Barium and chlorine
Sodium and phosphorus
Aluminum and fluorine
Calcium and sulfur
cation
A positively charged ion
anion
A negatively charged ion
