The equation that shows the formation of chromium (ii) ion from neutral chromium atom is as follow
Cr ---> cr^2+ + 2e-
Cr^2+ is the chromium ion with oxidation state of two which is one of the common ion of chromium. Other common ion of chromium include chromium of oxidation state 6 and 3
Neon is an element and elements are pure oxygen is. Or it is a gas
Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.
A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).
To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.
First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between
First Formula would be 
Second empirical formula is between 
Second Formula would be 
Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so
would be written as 
Third empirical formula is between 
Third Formula would be :
Forth empirical formula is between

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : 
Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g
Mass of water = 5.67g
Unknown:
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.
Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;
Al₂O₃ + 3H₂O → 2Al(OH)₃
Number of moles;
Number of moles = 
molar mass of Al₂O₃ = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole
number of moles =
= 0.04mole
molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole
number of moles =
= 0.32mole
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of Al₂O₃ reacted with 3 moles of H₂O
0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O
But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.
This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant
