Question #46777

Answer 1

Rather than doing all of this, let's show you a general formula to apply:

`A^(+m)` and `B^-n` will form an ionic compound: `A_nB_m`

Moreover, simplify the ratios of the subscripts, for instance I will do phosphate and aluminum:

`Al_3(PO_4)_3` will simplify to `AlPO_4`.
