Explain your reasoning for your formula prediction for Ba+2 and S-2. A neutral molecule requires equal numbers of cations and anions. Atoms will not combine unless their ions have an equal but opposite charge. The total charge of cations plus anions must equal zero. all of the above

Answer:

BaS would be a stable neutral molecule!

Reason:- All of the above.

Explanation:

In order to form a neutral molecule it's necessary to balance their charge first, The given components i.e. Ba2+(cation) and S2-(anion) have equal and opposite charges, when they combine they form predominantly ionic compound i.e. Sulphur partly shares it's 2 electrons with Barium and forms Barium sulphide.
