उत्तर
- Compound formed with calcium and fluorine will have the chemical formula CaF2. (valency of Ca is 2 and that of F is 1)
- Compound formed with hydrogen and sulphur will have the chemical formula H2S. (valency of S is 2 and that of H is 1)
- Compound formed with nitrogen and hydrogen will have the chemical formula NH3. (valency of N is 3 and that of H is 1)
- Compound formed with carbon and chlorine will have the chemical formula CCl4. (valency of C is 4 and that of Cl is 1)
- Compound formed with sodium and oxygen will have the chemical formula Na2O. (valency of Na is 1 and that of O is 2)
- Compound formed with carbon and oxygen will have the chemical formula CO2. (valency of C is 4 and that of O is 2, divided by the common factor of 2)

Play a game for writing formula.
Example 2: A low-cost model for writing formulae: Take empty blister packs of medicines. Cut them in groups according to the valency of the element, as shown in the figure. Now, you can make formulae by fixing one type of ion into other.
For example:

The formula for sodium sulphate:
2 sodium ions can be fixed on one sulphate ion.
Hence, the formula will be Na2SO4.
Do it yourself:
Now, write the formula of sodium phosphate.
