Answer from: Cassandoo

a) Sodium and nitrogen : NaN_3 : sodium nitride.

b) Oxygen and strontium : SrO : strontium oxide.

c) Aluminum and chlorine : AlCl_3 : aluminium chloride.

d) Cesium and bromine : CsBr : cesium bromide.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

a) Sodium and nitrogen : Here sodium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $Na^{+}$ cation and nitrogen forms an anion $N^{3-}$ with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral NaN_3 named as sodium nitride.

b) Oxygen and strontium : Here strontium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as $Sr^{+}$ cation and oxygen forms an anion $O^{2-}$ with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral SrO named as strontium oxide.

c) Aluminum and chlorine : Here aluminium is having an oxidation state of +3 called as $Al^{3+}$ cation and chlorine forms an anion $Cl^{-}$ with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral AlCl_3 named as aluminium chloride.

d) Cesium and bromine : Here cesium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $Cs^{+}$ cation and bromine forms an anion $Br^{-}$ with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral CsBr named as cesium bromide.

Answer from: Quest

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
