Chapter 2, Problem 2.64P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Name and molecular formula of the compound formed from $\text{L}$ and $\text{M}$ should be written.

Concept introduction:In the molecular formula, the exact number and type of constituent atoms are shown. Type of constituent atoms are represented by their atomic symbols and number of each constituent atom is represented in the right subscript of its atomic symbol. Number of each constituent in a molecule depends on their valency. The valency of an element is calculated from its electronic configuration, that is how much electron it has to lose or gain to attain a stable electronic configuration.

In a hypothetical molecule ${\text{A}}_{\text{x}}{\text{B}}_{\text{y}}$ , the ratio of valency of $\text{A}$ and valency of $\text{B}$ is $\text{y}:\text{x}$ .
