Question:

Predict the formula of the stable binary compounds that would be formed by the combination of the following pairs of elements. (a) Lithium and oxygen
(b) Magnesium and nitrogen
(c) Aluminium and iodine
(d) Silicon and oxygen
(e) Phosphorus and fluorine
(f) Element 71 and fluorine

Answer:

CHEMICAL FORMULA- a brief representation of the molecule of a substance (element or compound) in terms of the symbols of the various elements present in it is called its chemical formula.

(a) LiO (Lithium dioxide)

(b) Mg3N2 (Magnesium nitrite)

(c) AlI3 (Aluminium triiodide)

(d) SiO2 (Silicon dioxide)

(e) PF3 or PF5 (Phosphorous trifluoride  or pentafluoride)

(f) The element with the atomic number 71 is Lutetium (Lu). It has valency 3. Hence, the formula of the compound is LuF3.(Lutetium trifluoride).
