Be sure to answer all parts. write the formula for the following ionic compounds: (a) potassium oxide (b) iron(iii) sulfide (containing the felt ion) (c) cobalt(i) sulfate (containing the cotion and so, ion) o type here to search

Explanation:

(a) potassium oxide

Potassium is the element of group 1 and oxygen is the element of group 16. The most common valency of potassium and oxygen are 1 and 2 respectively.

So, the ionic compound formed:

K (Cation)        O (Anion)

1                       2

Interchange of the valency, So,

K₂O

(b) iron(III) sulfide

Iron is a d block element and sulfur is the element of group 16. The most common valency of sulfur is 2. The valency of iron is 3 which is written in roman in the name.

So, the ionic compound formed:

Fe (Cation)        S (Anion)    

3                        2

Interchange of the valency, So,

Fe₂S₃

(c) cobalt(I) sulfate

Cobalt is a d block element. The valency of cobalt is 1 which is written in roman in the name. Sulfate is an anion which has formula of SO₄²⁻ .

So, the ionic compound formed:

Co (Cation)     SO₄

1                      2

Interchange of the valency, So,

Co₂SO₄

convalent bond :

is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of electron between 2 atoms.

it is the direct chemical bond between 2 atoms.

in bond formation atoms are involved here.

electrovalent bond:

is a chemical bond defined as electroststic attraction between 2 atoms.

it is the electrostatic attraction between 2 atoms.

in bond formation, ions are involved here.
