A metal ion (X) with a charge of 2+ is attracted to a nonmetal ion (Z) with a charge of 3-.Which formula represents the resulting compound?

X₃Z₂

Explanation:

A metal ion (X) with a charge of 2+  =  X²⁺

nonmetal ion (Z) with a charge of 3-   = Z³⁻

In a neutral compound, the charges but balance each other to remain neutral. However in this case, the charges are not balanced.

A simple way to make the charges balance is by tweaking the number of the ions present in the compound.

We do this by multiplying the metal ion with 3 and the non metal ion by 2.

That way we have;

Metal ion = 3X2⁺   (Total charge - 6⁺)

Non metal ion = 2Z3⁻  (Total charge -  6⁻)

The charges are now balanced. The formular of the compound is;

X₃Z₂
