Answer 1

Answer:

1. Write the symbol and charge of the cation (metal) first and the anion (nonmetal) second.

2. Use a multiplier to make the total charge of the cations and anions equal to each other.

total charge of cations = total charge of anions.

3. Use the multipliers as subscript for each ion.

4.Write the final formula. Leave out all charges and all subscripts that are 1.

These are the steps. Now, as it is your project, use these tips and do on your own.
