Cadmium hydrogen sulfate is an ionic compound formed by the combination of cadmium (Cd) and hydrogen sulfate (HSO₄⁻) ions. The formula for cadmium hydrogen sulfate is Cd(HSO₄)₂.
Here's how to determine the formula:
* Cadmium (Cd) has a charge of +2.
* Hydrogen sulfate (HSO₄⁻) has a charge of -1.
* To balance the charges, we need two hydrogen sulfate ions for every cadmium ion.
