How can you determine the chemical formula of silver and zinc cholide?
Can you explain how these formulas were determined?
The chemical formula of a compound is determined by analyzing the atoms present in the compound and the way they are bonded together. For example, in silver chloride, there is one atom of silver and one atom of chlorine bonded together, making the chemical formula AgCl. In zinc chloride, there is one atom of zinc and two atoms of chlorine bonded together, making the chemical formula ZnCl2.
