Balancing charges: Suppose that X represents an arbitrary cation and that Y represents an anionic species. Using the charges indicate in the superscript of X and Y, fill in the remaining blanks below by writing the appropriate subscript for each X and Y species to balance the net charge on the ionic X,Y, compound formed (where a and b represent positive, whole numbers of X and Y, respectively) . Note: write only the number in your answer below. Do not spell the number, type it using your number key pad. Remember if your subscript on X and Y is X2Y2, for example, please reduce your subscripts to X1 Y1. X X" у D Question 8 X X Y- Y Y2 Y Y3- Y X Y Y
