Question
The valencies (or charges) of some of the ions are given below :
Ion Valency Ion Valency (Charge) (Charge)
Sodium ion 1+ Nitrate ion 1–
Copper ion 2+ Sulphide ion 2–
Using this information, write down the formulae of :
- Sodium sulphide
- Copper nitrate

Solution
Formula of the listed compounds can be derived by crossing the individual valencies over the ions/elements. Therefore, the formula for sodium sulphide and copper nitrate are:
- Na2S
- Cu(NO3)2
