For the ion or element combinations of M²⁺ and X^-, choose the correct formula for the compound produced.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- The combination M²⁺ consists of one metal ion (M), one sulfur ion (S1), one uranium ion (U1), and one phosphorus ion (P12) combining with one sulfur ion (S1) and one phosphorus ion (P0) respectively. - The combination X^- consists of one halogen ion (X), one sulfur ion (S1), one uranium ion (U1), and one phosphorus ion (P1) combining with one sulfur ion (S1) and one phosphorus ion (P0) respectively. - Based on the combination of ions, it is clear that only the formula MX₂ is possible which represents the combination of all ions in the given combination. Hence, the correct choice is C.
