Basically since potassium chloride is an ionic compound as it consists of a metal and a nonmetal, the potassium atom will donate one of its valence electrons to chlorine that will accept it and as a result produce oppositely charged ions, where the K + ion and the Cl - ion will attract forming an ionic bond. The compound that results is potassium chloride.
Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.
Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra
Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.
Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At
When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.
When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.
For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get
or 
When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be 
Answer:
Element Atomic Number One number you will find on all periodic tables is the atomic number for each element.

The method is called the displacement method.
You place some water in the graduated cylinder and measure its volume.
Then you add your object and measure the new volume.
The difference between the two volumes is the volume of your object.
It’s the first 1 M yea it’s the first one
