(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula of the magnesium sulfate is to be stated.
Concept Introduction :
A chemical formula of a given compound is used to describe the number of atoms present in it. Since a compound is made of two or more than two different elements in definite proportion, a chemical formula can best describe the number of elements it contains with their atomic symbols.
(b)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula of tin (II) fluoride is to be stated.
