If lon X has a charge of 2+ and lon Y has a charge of 1-, the chemical the formula of the ionic
Monica [59]

The chemical formula of the ionic compound is XY₂.

<h3>Ionic compounds</h3>
  • Ionic compounds are compounds which are formed from the combination of negatively charged and positively charged ion.
  • Positively charged ions are formed by loss of electrons
  • Negatively-charged ions are formed from gain of electrons

<h3>Formation of ionic compounds</h3>

During the formation of the ionic compound between an ion X that has a charge of 2+ and ion Y has a charge of 1-, two negatively charged ions of Y are required to form a neutral ionic ionic compound when they react with X.

The chemical the formula of the ionic compound they form is as follows;

X²⁺  + 2Y⁻ ---> XY₂

Therefore, the chemical formula of the ionic compound is XY₂.

When two or more substances combine, but each keeps it own properties,the new combination is called a (an)
Harman [31]

The new combination is called a mixture.

In mixtures, since the substances are not chemically combined together, they still remain their own physical and chemical properties, and can be separated by simple physical methods such as filtration or distillation.

On the other hand, if the two or more substances are combined where they get new properties, the new combination will be called a compound.  They cannot be separated by physical methods, but chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis.
