1) If the alkaline-earth metal will react with chlorine we have the following reaction:

M + Cl₂ → MCl₂

Because the alkaline-earth metal have a valence of 2 and the chlorine atom in this compound a valence of 1 the formula will be:

MCl₂

2) How many atoms of each of the following elements are present in Hg₃(BO₃)₃?

Hg = 3 atoms

B = 1 × 3 = 3 atoms

O = 3 × 3 = 9 atoms
