Answer:

AX₂

Explanation:

Binary compounds:

The compounds which are made up of the atoms of only two elements are called binary compounds.

For example:

The following compounds are binary:

HCl

H₂O

NH₃

HCl is binary because it is composed of only hydrogen and chlorine. Ammonia is also binary compound because it is made up of only two elements nitrogen and hydrogen.

water is also binary because it is also made up of only two elements hydrogen and oxygen.

In given question it is stated that the charge of cation is twice than the anion which means its charge would be +2 thus anionic part will have the charge -1. In neutral compound the positive and negative charges must be equal in magnitude to cancel the effect of each other and make the compound neutral. So, there must be two anionic atom present so that charge becomes -2 and cancel the +2 charge of cationic part. Thus the formula will be,

AX₂

A⁺²X₂⁻²

What are valence electrons and why are they so important in chemistry?
stealth61 [152]

valance electrons that reside in the outermost shell of an atom in the highest energy level. They are important to atoms because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, it becomes less stable.

I take honors chemistry I hope this helps.

What is the mass of 1.7 × 1023 atoms of zinc
fiasKO [112]

We are given with a compound, Zinc (Zn) having a 1.7 x 10 ^23 atoms. We are tasked to solve for it's corresponding mass in g. We need to find first the molecular weight of Zinc, that is

Zn= 65.38 g/mol

Not that 1 mol=6.022x10^{23} atoms, hence,

1.7 x 10 ^23 atoms x 1 mol/6.022x10^{23} atoms x65.38 g/ 1mol

=18.456 g of Zn

 

Therefore, the mass of Zinc 18.456 g
