Question

In my chemistry lab book, we are given multiple elements andtold to write thr formulas of all the new molecules or ions formedwhen the solutions are mixed. It also indicates to idetity elementsthat simply don't react with each other. How can you tell whichelements will react with each other? I know that elements want to gain or lose valence electrons tobecome more stable. Here's an example of one of the problemsfrom my book. Cl-, Br-, I-, Fe3+ My guess is that this mixture would form FeCl3,FeBr3, and FeI3 but that's a completeguess. If I'm right please justify your answer.

Explanation / Answer

yes you are right, cations (positively charged ions such as Fe 3+)attracts anions (negative charge) to form a compound. Also if youmix the anions together they stay separated because 2 negativesdont attract.
