The chemical formula of the ionic compound is XY₂.

Ionic compounds

  • Ionic compounds are compounds which are formed from the combination of negatively charged and positively charged ion.
  • Positively charged ions are formed by loss of electrons
  • Negatively-charged ions are formed from gain of electrons

Formation of ionic compounds

During the formation of the ionic compound between an ion X that has a charge of 2+ and ion Y has a charge of 1-, two negatively charged ions of Y are required to form a neutral ionic ionic compound when they react with X.

The chemical the formula of the ionic compound they form is as follows;

X²⁺  + 2Y⁻ ---> XY₂

Therefore, the chemical formula of the ionic compound is XY₂.
