QUESTION 14- CASE STUDY QUESTION – 4 MARKER
The knowledge of the valencies of various radicals helps us to write the formulae of chemical
compounds. The total positive charge on positive ions (cations) is equal to the total negative charge
on negative ions (anions) in a molecule. Therefore, in writing the formula of a compound, the
positive and negative ions are adjusted in such a way that the total number of positive charges of
positive ions (cations) becomes equal to the total number of negative charges of negative ions
(anions).
There is another simple method for writing the formulae of ionic compounds. In this method, the
valencies (or positive or negative charges) of the ions can be ‘crossed over’ to give subscripts. The
purpose of crossing over of charges is to find the number of ions required to equalise the number of
positive and negative charges.

(a) 1 and 3 (b) 3 and 1
