2. potassium forms ions with a charge of +1 (ka+). iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. selenium forms ions with a charge of -2 (

imagine that potassium ions and selenide ions combine to form potassium selenide. what numbers would be in the place of x and y in:

kxsey

(use the number 1 even if it isn't strictly necessary)

x= y =

3. you are balancing an ionic compound. let's call it: ab.

ion a has a charge of +2 and ion b has a charge of -3.

therefore, you determine that the ionic compound (ab) will have a ratio of 3 as for every 2 bs.

how would you modify ab in order to show that they have this 3-to-2 ratio?

question options:

3a2b

a3b2

a3b2
