Answer:
CaCl2
Ca chlorine
Valency 2 valency 1
By cross multiplication
Ca Cl =CaCl2
+2 - 1
In this way formula of compounds are derived.
Explanation:
The charge on calcium atom is 2 positive and charge on chlorine atom is 1 negative.
Therefore, to balance the charge we require two atoms of chlorine to react with one atom of calcium. Also, the compound is neutral thus net charge is zero.
