Question

When titanium bonds with oxygen, the ionic compound that forms has the chemical formula Ti2O3 and consists of Ti3+ ions and O2- ions. Explain why the compound has this chemical formula.

Answer 1

The compound has this chemical formula so that the charges of its ions cancel. Each oxide ion has a charge of 2, so three oxide ions have a charge of 6. If there are two titanium (III) ions for every three oxide ions, then the 6 charge of the titanium ions cancel the 6 charges of the oxide ions to give a neutral compound

Answer 2

hi!

just use cross method
