Ionic compounds are those compounds which are made up of ions. These ions can exist as positive or negative ions. Those ions which has tendency to lose electrons are said to be cations (positive ions) such as metals and those ions which has tendency to gain electrons are said to be anions (negative ions) such as non-metals.
The formula for ionic compounds are given as:
First, the symbols of the cation and anion should be identified. After that, charge on the cation and anion should be identified. Write the chemical formula with the help of drop and swap method.
Now,
The chemical symbols for Aluminium is
and for chlorine is
.
The charge on
is +3 and on
is -1, neglect the positive and negative signs and by using drop and swap method i.e. the charge on the aluminium will go as a subscript of the chlorine and the charge on the chlorine will go as a subscript of the aluminium which is shown in the image.
Thus, the chemical formula between
and
is
.
<span>Smith and Cuvier discovered that similar groups of fossils in distant rock layers could be correlated. Why was this such a major breakthrough in geology?

Answer:
1). 107.2L
Explanation:
The idea here is that if all the gases thaction are kept under te same conditions for pressure and temperature, then you can treat the mole ratios that exist between them as volume ratios.
Answer:
a: chemical change because the change cannot be reversed.
b: physical change because the action can be reversed.
c: chemical change.
d:chemical change.
any change that cannot be reversed is a chemical change and any change that can be reversed is a physical change.
