The goal is to create a compound that is electrically neutral overall, meaning the total positive charge must balance the total negative charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>a. Sodium hydrogen sulfite (NaHSO\u2083):<\/strong><br>Sodium ion is Na\u207a and hydrogen sulfite ion is HSO\u2083\u207b. Since both have charges of +1 and -1, they combine in a one-to-one ratio to form NaHSO\u2083.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>b. Lithium permanganate (LiMnO\u2084):<\/strong><br>Lithium ion is Li\u207a and permanganate ion is MnO\u2084\u207b. These also combine in a one-to-one ratio to form LiMnO\u2084.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>c. Silver nitrate (AgNO\u2083):<\/strong><br>Silver ion is Ag\u207a and nitrate ion is NO\u2083\u207b. Their charges balance in a one-to-one ratio, giving the formula AgNO\u2083.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>d. Potassium sulfate (K\u2082SO\u2084):<\/strong><br>Potassium ion is K\u207a and sulfate ion is SO\u2084\u00b2\u207b. Two potassium ions are needed to balance one sulfate ion, so the formula is K\u2082SO\u2084.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>e. Rubidium hydrogen sulfate (RbHSO\u2084):<\/strong><br>Rubidium ion is Rb\u207a and hydrogen sulfate ion is HSO\u2084\u207b. Their charges balance equally, resulting in the formula RbHSO\u2084.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>f. Potassium hydrogen carbonate (KHCO\u2083):<\/strong><br>Potassium ion is K\u207a and hydrogen carbonate ion is HCO\u2083\u207b. These combine in a one-to-one ratio, giving KHCO\u2083.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding ion charges and balancing them is essential in writing correct formulas for ionic compounds. The name indicates the ions involved, and from there, the formula is determined by ensuring total charge neutrality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-499.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-499.jpeg 852w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-499-250x300.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/gaviki.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-499-768x923.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write a formula for each of the following ionic compounds: a. sodium hydrogen sulfite b. lithium permanganate c. silver nitrate d. potassium sulfate e. rubidium hydrogen sulfate f. potassium hydrogen carbonate The Correct Answer and Explanation is: Here are the correct formulas for each of the given ionic compounds: a.
