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.

Whats the si unit chemist use to measure the amount of an element substance?

Westkost [7]

The SI unit for the amount of substance present is the mole.

The mole is defined as the amount of substance that has the same amount of particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. Mathematically, the moles of a substance may be computed using:

moles present = mass of substance / molecular mass of substance
