17. Aly S3
18. Calcium sulfide

Respuesta :

Answer:

15.Potassium oxide

16.Calcium chloride

17.Aluminium sulphide

18.CaS

Explanation:

15.K is the chemical symbol of Potassium and generally the name of the non-metal at the end of a formula has the suffix '-ide' and since O is oxygen, the name becomes Potassium oxide.

16. The same applies here. Ca is Calcium and Cl is Chlorine but since its the non-metal at the end, it ends in -ide. So Calcium chloride.

17.The same applies here too. Al is Aluminium and S is Sulphur so Aluminium sulphide.

18. Calcium's symbol is Ca and that of Sulphur is S and that gives the formula CaS.
