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:
chlorine dioxide is empirical formula for CLO2.
Answer:
B. 1.65 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
2 SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ 2 SO₃(g)
Step 2: Calculate the moles of SO₂
The pressure of the gas is 1.20 atm and the temperature 25 °C (298 K). We can calculate the moles using the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
n = P × V / R × T
n = 1.20 atm × 1.50 L / (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K = 0.0736 mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of SO₃ produced
0.0736 mol SO₂ × 2 mol SO₃/2 mol SO₂ = 0.0736 mol SO₃
Step 4: Calculate the volume occupied by 0.0736 moles of SO₃ at STP
At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L.
0.0736 mol × 22.4 L/1 mol = 1.65 L
