Question

fill in the name and empirical formula of each ionic compound that could be formed from the ions in this table:
some ionic compounds
cation anion empirical formula name of compound
cs⁺ f⁻
cs⁺ cl⁻
cs⁺ i⁻
cs⁺ br⁻

Explanation:

Step1: Determine empirical formula

For ionic compounds, the empirical formula is written with the cation first and anion second. The charges of the cation ($Cs^+$ with a charge of +1) and anions ($F^-$, $Cl^-$, $I^-$, $Br^-$ all with a charge of -1) balance out in a 1:1 ratio.

Step2: Name the compound

The name of the compound is the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion with the -ide ending for the non - metal anion.

Answer:

cation	anion	empirical formula	name of compound
$Cs^+$	$Cl^-$	$CsCl$	cesium chloride
$Cs^+$	$I^-$	$CsI$	cesium iodide
$Cs^+$	$Br^-$	$CsBr$	cesium bromide
