Answer:

Explanation:

In ionic bonding, atoms transfer electrons to each other. Ionic bonds require at least one electron donor and one electron acceptor. In contrast, atoms with the same electronegativity share electrons in covalent bonds, because neither atom preferentially attracts or repels the shared electrons.

Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:

love history [14]

Answer:

$FeSO_{4},FeCH_{3}CO,Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3},Fe_{2}(CH_{3}CO)_{3}$

Explanation:

Empirical formula of ionic compound formed by two ions $A^{x+}$ and $B^{y-}$ is $A_{y}B_{x}$ (for $x\neq y$ ) of AB (for x = y)

The above empirical formula is in accordance with charge neutrality principle

Here each cation ( $Fe^{3+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ ) can form two ionic compounds by combining with two given anions ( $SO_{4}^{2-}$ and $CH_{3}CO^{2-}$ ).

So the four ionic compounds are: $FeSO_{4},FeCH_{3}CO,Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3},Fe_{2}(CH_{3}CO)_{3}$
