What is the simplest formula of the compound containing the ions X⁴⁺ and Y^2-?
- XY₂
- X₂Y

Correct Answer

A. XY₂

Explanation

The simplest formula of the compound containing the ions X4+ and Y2- is XY2. This is because the charges on the ions must balance out to form a neutral compound. The 4+ charge on X cancels out with the 2- charge on Y, resulting in a balanced compound with a formula of XY2.
