Jot down the formula of the ionic compound. Let's say the ionic compound you're working with is NaCl.
Write the name of the metal.
Add the name of the non-metal with an –ide ending.
Combine the cation and anion names.
Practice naming more simple ionic compounds.
<span>An element belonging to the halogen family would be expected to have a large ionization energy and a large electron affinity.
Flourine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and astatine are the elements that belongs to the halogen family and mostly they have high values of ionization energy.
The amount of energy released when an electron is added to an atom or molecule to form a negative ion or anion is electron affinity.</span>Chlorine from this family has highest electron affinity.
Answer:
The coefficient that should be inserted in front of chlorine is 2
Explanation:
Sn + 2Cl₂ → SnCl₄
As we have 4 atoms of chlorine in product side, we need 4 Cl in reactant side.
Chlorine is a diatomic atom, so if we have 2 mol of it, we are having 4 atoms of Cl.
The law of conservation of mass must be respected in every chemical equation
If you add them up: 2+2+6 = 10, you will know it's Neon, which is written as Ne
