The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given formulas is not correct, we need to analyze the valencies of the elements involved in each compound. Let's break down the analysis step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze H2S - **Elements involved**: Hydrogen (H) and Sulfur (S). - **Valency of Hydrogen**: +1 (H typically forms H⁺ ions). - **Valency of Sulfur**: -2 (in the form of sulfide, S²⁻). - **Combining the valencies**: To balance the charges, we need 2 H⁺ ions (total +2) to balance with 1 S²⁻ ion (total -2). - **Correct formula**: H2S (This formula is correct). ### Step 2: Analyze NaHSO4 - **Elements involved**: Sodium (Na) and HSO4. - **Valency of Sodium**: +1 (Na typically forms Na⁺ ions). - **Valency of HSO4**: -1 (the sulfate ion HSO4⁻ has a charge of -1). - **Combining the valencies**: The charges balance as +1 from Na and -1 from HSO4. - **Correct formula**: NaHSO4 (This formula is correct). ### Step 3: Analyze CaCl - **Elements involved**: Calcium (Ca) and Chloride (Cl). - **Valency of Calcium**: +2 (Ca typically forms Ca²⁺ ions). - **Valency of Chloride**: -1 (Cl typically forms Cl⁻ ions). - **Combining the valencies**: To balance the charges, we need 1 Ca²⁺ ion (+2) and 2 Cl⁻ ions (-2). - **Correct formula**: CaCl2 (The formula CaCl is incorrect). ### Conclusion The incorrect formula among the options is **CaCl**. The correct formula should be **CaCl2**. ### Final Answer The formula that is not correct is **CaCl**. ---
