As per the rule, oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2. Oxidation number of oxygen in it's compounds is -2(except peroxides) and the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a neutral compound is zero.
Ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding
Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid. This is important to every living thing on earth. It means that wherever water goes, either through the air, the ground, or through our bodies, it takes along valuable chemicals, minerals, and nutrients.
High concentration of water and salt is the main ingredient of brine. Salt being NaCl and water make brain and important solution in making of chlorine.
Electric terminals are put inside the solutions and with the help of electric current the chemical properties of the solution are changed such that we get chlorine as outcome. This process is carried out in a large scale to get chlorine from NaCl in solution and is called electrolysis of Brine.
Answer: X3Y2
Explanation:
The formula is
X has a valency of 2
Y has a valency of 3
So, we interchange the valencies
Therefore, the formula is
X3Y2
