Ionic compounds can be made from a metallic ion and a nonmetallic ion. Metallic ions (M) are positive (cations). Nonmetallic ions (N) are negative (anions). x stands for the number of metallic ions and y stands for the number of nonmetallic ions. For each equation given below, enter the number in the space provided to correctly answer the question.

Explanation:

Since metals have more number of electrons therefore, they donate extra electron(s) in order to gain stability. Whereas non-metals have less number of electrons than metals. Hence, non-metals readily gain electron(s) in order to gain stability.

Sum for the mentioned entries are as follows.

(+1) + (-1) = 1 -1 = 0

(+2) + (-2) = 2 - 2 = 0

2(+1) + (-2) = 2 - 2 = 0

(+3) + 3(-1) = 3 - 3 = 0

3(+2) + 2(-3) = 6 - 6 = 0
