When determining the formula for a compound, it is important to know the valence numbers of each element. Suppose you want to wr

ite a formula for a compound with these two elements: Element A = valence 3 Element B = valence 2 In the formula, what number will be the subscript for Element B?

3 0

Explanation:

The valency of the element is the measure of the combining power of the element with the other atoms when the element forms compounds or molecules.

<u>Thus, valency has to known to find the how the elements have been combined and how many electrons have been lost, gain or shared.</u>

Given that:

Element A has 3 valence electrons and element B has 2 valence electrons. To find the ionic compound, the valency of the cations and the anions are interchanged and are written in subscripts. Thus,

A        B

3          2

Cross multiplying, we get the formula : A_2B_3

<u>Hence, 3 is the subscript for Element B.</u>

Is fire a solid liquid or gas?
Doss [256]
Fire is actually a chemical reaction. It's an oxidation reaction to be specific. When wood gets hot enough (the part of the wood that is burning) the large hydrocarbons break down to charred solids and a gas. The gas is what reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere to produced light, CO2 and H2O.
