Answer

Red : Potassium sulfide. $(K_2S)$ Green: Strontium iodide $(SrI_2)$ Blue: Gallium oxide $(Ga_2O_3)$

Work Step by Step

1. Use the periodic table to get the name of the metals: Red: Potassium Green: Strontium Blue: Gallium 2. Use the figure 2.15 (Page 61) to find the name of the nonmetal ions: Red: Sulfide. Green: Iodide. Blue: Oxide. 3. To write its likely formula, multiply each number of atoms by the charge of its pair. (Use figure 2.15): (a) $K_2S$ ** Since sulfide has a charge of $2-$, we use 2 potassium ions. (b) $SrI_2$ (c) $Ga_2O_3$
